[OSM-talk] JOSM and 0.5 (was: Does potlatch make it too easy for people to unintentionally screw things up?)

Gabriel has done some work on implementing the long discussed  
"modelessness" yesterday, so if anyone cares to try the josm- 
latest.jar they will find that it works a bit differently now. Don't  
know if this is the last word on the issue (delete "mode" versus  
"command" might still need some work, and there will surely be a  
number of subleties to sort out) but I think it looks very promising!

Cc/F'up to josm-dev.

Bye
Frederik
