Thanks for being polite.

I often have to correct ordered route-relations cause a Potlatch user had just
split a way. Do I complain ?

Has someone yet considered about running JOSM in a virtualized environment or
maybe provide a small bootable iso/usb linux-image for those without java6.


I almost do only use JOSM cause I am editing offline and upload later. Even with
an internet connection I am note sure if I could run potlatch with only using
80MB ram.
browser+flash   <->   java (JOSM)

I can not do that with Potlatch.


I have to admit that JOSM is a bit more complicated for the beginners but you do
have more features.

There were some bugs with relation handling 2 month ago and I damaged data myself.
The are fixed now.

The way JOSM renders relation (even selected ones) is not nice your are right. I
wrote a ticket quite some time ago but it seemed note to be that important (I
can live with it right now) or the do not have enough free-time to offer for an
open-source-project.


So well. I think we just need more people to get the documentation working and a
better organisation within the project, even within the editors themselfs. As
open-source-projects you should not only provide the source-code but also some
of your thoughts and arguements that led to the implementation. But that is even
more work !

Promote OSM and make it known.

Mobilize people and try to get people payed to work for OSM and
open-source-projects.
