Good thing to know.
I'm thinking that "make this street one way" should be a button on
incantation; it's probably one of the
things most mappers will encounter (in a city), and it's harder to do this
then it needs to be now. Also,
if Potlatch could indicate direction right on the way (not sure how hard
this is), that would be cool.

Additional one-way question: Some local streets here are one ways for part
of the road, and
either one way in another direction in parts, or two ways. Is there any way
to designate this in Potlatch
(or JOSM either, for that matter?)

Ok, silly question: I have a few ways that have "lost" pieces in the middle
somehow. Think
A-B C-D, where there is no connection between B and C in the map, but there
is in real life.
Does "shfit click" work to join them? (When I "click" on AB or CD in
Potlatch, AB and CD are
highlighted already).

If there is a more appropriate spot to ask Potlatch questions, do let me
know.

Thanks,
Gerald.
