[OSM-talk] Could JOSM be dumbed down?

[Dave F]

I don't think JOSM needs to be dumbed down, but the help files need to 
be expanded & upgraded.
Many are for older versions of the programs where the dialog boxes shown 
are outdated. V. confusing.

In general, I believe English language wikis should be written by those 
who's primary language is English.

In your example, the video needs an audio commentary to explain what is 
about to happen. It's really hard to follow the cursor, especially when 
it's not moved directly to the next place, but just wiggled about. It 
also needs to a show a visual cue, such as an expanding circle, when the 
cursor is pressed.
