[OSM-talk] State of JOSM

Any such input would be greatly appreciated by the developers. All of
us are mappers ourselves but everyone has their own style, and we
simply assume that the problems we face and the problems mentioned on
the lists are somehow representative for the whole mapping community -
which might not be the case, but we don't have numbers...

Maybe we should instrument a future JOSM release to record the user
actions precisely in order to study possible improvements. But that
could constitute an invasion into the user's privacy.

Bye
Frederik
