There's a few things to work through though. - Is there a demand for the binary format in its current incantation? I'm not keen to incorporate it if nobody will use it. - Can the code be managed in the main OSM Subversion repo instead of GIT? - Is any code reuse between Osmosis and other applications required? If only the Osmosis tasks will be managed in the Osmosis project and a component with common functionality managed elsewhere then I need to know how the common component will be managed and published for consumption in Osmosis.
