Same here - the standalone debug player both pops up errors and shows
them in the terminal window that I launch it from, and there's plenty
of interesting stuff goes on with trace() calls. I use Kate as my
editor.

While we're talking about coding, I've written down some of the
conventions we've been using up until now. Descriptive, not
prescriptive - I'm more interested in consistency than any kind of
correctness, so I stick to whatever seems most prevalent in the
file/function that I'm working on.

I think the "Be sensible" and "Be tolerant" bits are the most
important, hence why they are at the top! :-)

Bugfixes like http://trac.openstreetmap.org/changeset/24708 are great
but we need to avoid making lots of whitespace changes in commits that
hide the actual code changes.

Cheers,
Andy
