Potlatch2 works nicely by drag and drop a selected POI onto the map. It's grid 
does need a little updating, but on the whole is a better starting point.
I will be making a case for including that into id ... the current 'blank page' 
when adding a point is not user friendly at all! It took me a while and a few 
moves to get a POI node created in id ...

See other thread an why there should not be a delete button! I made the same 
case on potlatch in the past and now the reasons are even greater.
