Advice on JOSM remote control

[Blake Girardot]

Hi,

Just to follow up on Ian's email, I have created some screenshots to
illustrate what we are hoping is possible to accomplish with the
current JOSM remote control api, sorry I do not know a better way to
share, but this is a webpage, not a google doc and should be viewable
by anyone, no logins or other hoops required:

Respectfully,
Blake
