\me installs non-free sun-java5-jdk on my previously free software only 
debian system. Sigh

Download and run josm. Yep, that works :-)

If it works, it's incomprehensible. I can draw lines on it, but I get no 
visible lat/long or other context clues to where I might be in the 
world. Also being presented with 'data copyright navteq' on the map with 
no explanation anywhere is disconcerting... First impression is (gulp) 
osm has been taken over..

Could a potlatch contributor put a few lines of text explaining it's use 
in the page somewhere?


Thanks for the help.
