Please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that

* The OpenStreetBugs source code is not published. Your only way to 
improve OpenStreetBugs in any way is to politely ask the author to do 
something for you. No SVN or something.

* The data collected by OpenStreetBugs is available exclusively through 
the OpenStreetBugs service. No regular "planet dumps", nothing.

If the author gets run over by a bus tomorrow then we have nothing left.

If the above is true then I'm all for implementing our own, open version 
of OpenStreetBugs, instead of further popularizing the existing application.

Bye
Frederik
