[OSM-talk] JOSM observations from a newcomer

[David Earl]

Thanks for the information and advice. I was using the stable version
previously, but switched to the latest one now.

It is still a selection from two pop ups to set e.g. highway=primary (though
it remembers the previous one). I had in mind a button to assign
keyword/value combination in just one click.

The latter now is http://josm.eigenheimstrasse.de/ticket/35 ;-)

I would put the second (splitting) as the higher priority.
