[OSM-talk] JOSM WMS plugin -> Capabilities / Layers

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

I use JOSM, and pasting the URLs from the "Imagery and data sources" 
page is fine with me, at least for short or medium term.

And I think it is actually much simpler to do this than having to query 
from getCapabilities. I encountered layers that didn't work with QGis, 
for example.

Best regards,

Jean-Guilhem
