[OSM-newbies] JOSM preference set up

[mclay]

Hi Ed.  The area I'm looking at is -117.718, 33.495: -117.553,33.364.  There
is at least one segment of an interstate going through the area.  The
majority of the lines are residential and other lines include county and
coastline boundaries.  I don't use any other data other than the OSM data
layer and CaSIL's WMS DOQQ as background.

It's a tiny section of California I am looking at but, eventually, when my
preferences is set up for easier viewing, I will be looking at all of
California.  The primary goal for me is to get all the major roads:
interstates, US, state, county roads "cleaned up" to use in the California
basemap, a GIS service to the public.  What I mean my clean up is check that
the highways are named, they follow the course of the road according to the
aerial imagery (DOQQs with +/- 3 meter horizontal accuracy), remove
duplicate road lines, etc.  I don't know if that will be a problem with the
OSM organization but we really like the look of the roads on the California
basemap compared to other roads we've used.
