I'm a Java programmer that is interested in contributing to Open Street Map. I've already sent an e-mail to the JOSM mailing list, as I think I would be the most productive there. I did subscribe to this development mailing list as well, and I wanted to at least make an introduction. I'm still in the process of learning about OSM and how it works, but I thought I might list areas I am interested in:
[1] Parsing and conversion of different geospatial file formats, like ESRI Shapefiles, Autodesk DXF files, WKT, and GML. [2] Efforts to incorporate TIGER data into OSM. [3] Tools that allow management of metadata and quality control for OSM. If there is a particular need for programmer assistance in one of these areas, please let me know.
