Like Steve says, the OSM copyright is on the left of the page, as with  
the entire rest of the OSM site. The Yahoo/whatever copyright is on  
the Yahoo/whatever layer - we can't change that, but obviously if you  
turn that layer off then the copyright notice goes with it.

Like the rest of OSM, the documentation is currently on the wiki.  
There's also a direct link to the relevant page when you first open  
Potlatch.

There will be built-in docs in due course, just haven't had chance to  
build that yet. Same goes for all-purpose undo: as it stands there is  
currently undo-like behaviour for way edits, but not for POI edits. As  
I've said a few times before on this list I figured it was more  
important to concentrate on ways first - it's never that difficult to  
reinstate one POI unless it's got thirty-seven tags.

If you want to help whittle down the long to-do list, that'd be great. ;)
