Hi

In the next phase of Map Kibera, we're going to be focusing on collecting much 
more detailed information on particular themes ... health, education, 
water/sanitation, security. 
The map data in Kibera is *very* dense, and in order to make the process 
easier, am looking into at only editing one particular kind of thing at a time.

The process I'm doing now is 
* collect stats on tagging schemes [http://files.maps.jsintl.org/tags.html]
* looking at a sector, and decide which tags to edit ... for example health, I 
choose amenity=hospital and amenity=pharmacy

* download those via XAPI
* load all the downloaded OSM files into JOSM, and merge layers
* ok, that's what I want to edit!

I'd like to investigate getting this end result in JOSM, without the manual 
steps below
* Define the thematic layers in perferences (HEALTH is amenity=hospital, 
amenity=pharmacy, ROADS is highway=*, etc)
* Add a panel which toggles visibility on each of those thematic layers. By 
default, there would be a layer for everything else not caught by the defined 
themes
* ok, that's what I really want!

Not being a JOSM plugin expert ... does anyone have ideas on how to implement? 
Interested in collaborating on a plugin?

Thanks
Mikel
