Lars,

I welcome all your comments. All of your criticisms are well known bugs,
or missing features. They're in the wiki and at the forefront of several
peoples minds. I personally devote much of my free time to doing a wide
variety of OSM things, as do others.

Still, this all takes time. We know WMS etc would be good. We know a
better applet is needed. We know there could be more documentation.
We're trying to get it all done.

The source is all available, the process of coding and deciding what to
work on is open. If there is anything you (or anyone) wants to work on,
you only have to say and things can be found. Server access can be
granted, subversion passords issued.

If not, thats cool too. Just hold off a little and sooner than you know
it we'll have things done for you :-)

have fun,
