I was sent a link to this thread on the JOSM dev mailing list: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/josm-dev/2011-January/005185.html
The jist is some people are pushing to put URL filtering into JOSM, currently the discussion is focused on Google images/tiles however it wouldn't take much of a leap for things to also block Nearmap URLs since those pushing for this change seem to want to make JOSM difficult to use for anything but OSM allowed sources. Thankfully the main author of the software seems to want a more general editor, not just one that works with OSM specific APIs etc. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
