[Openstreetmap] Unified data-gathering and editing application

[Tyler Mitchell]

May I suggest using Quantum GIS (QGIS).  It fits your profile, Nick.  C++ and 
QT, multi-platform builds already available.  It has a plugin environment 
that you could leverage to add in the features you might consider missing.

There is a lot of development on the 'pending' list and in CVS.  Please 
consider it, so we can all work around a solid, existing application 
framework.

By two bits,
 Tyler
