developer for JOSM plugin

[Michael Zangl]

Hi,

The difficult part of this would be to define the time they edit. Many 
users have JOSM running in background. This time sould not count to 
editing, so you would have to do some sort of activity tracking.

JOSM can also be used for non-OSM work, e.g. just editing local files.

I believe that the best approach is to track the time that a OSM layer 
is edited (e.g. has been changed in the last few minutes) and then store 
the working time on that layer instead of globally. When uploading the 
layer to OSM, the work time can be recorded. A problem with this would 
be saving a .osm file and later continuing the work.

You could link the time report to the OSM changeset for more transparency.

PS: I do paid work like this, have written JOSM plugins+Code; I live in 
Germany and hourly wages are relatively high here compared to other 
countries.

When saving the edits, the time recorded will be sent to Rovas <https://rovas.app/rules> - an app of community economic system NEO - that not only keeps a record of volunteer hours, but also rewards such work with community currency and provides other functionality.
