[Openstreetmap] osm-editor ... time for a major overhaul?

[Nick Whitelegg]

Now the OSM API is up and running with keys and values and osm-editor is
speaking to it, I'm feeling now is
perhaps the time for a major overhaul.

What I'd like it to do is to be able to add, edit and delete OSM nodes and
segments "on the fly", so that, for example, when you delete
a segment in osm-editor, the segment is instantly deleted in OSM, and when
you add a node, the node is instantly added to OSM. In essence, rather like
a standalone version of the applet but with the additional features of
being able to read from a GPS, save GPS tracks as GPX and specify
key/values for nodes and segments.

There are also some internal things I'd like to change like use the Qt HTTP
API, which is easier to work with when it comes to HTTP status codes and
different request types than cURL.

However this would probably take a fair amount of development time, and I
am planning on working on the OSM map-drawing code itself, so I'd be
interested to get some feedback from people who would be interested in me
doing this.

Thanks,
Nick
