Great idea! If it can have a simple way of visualising
multipolygon/boundary type relations and highlighting anomalies in them,
it would get a big +1000000 from me.

Hi all,
Potlatch is five years old and JOSM is over six years old. Scary,
isn't it?
Lots has changed in those five years. Browsers now do natively things
that used to require a plugin - indeed, you might not even have the
plugin anymore. OSM's changed, too, from a little-known geek project
to this behemoth of map data used by millions every day.
So we need another editor. Not to replace what we have now: Potlatch
fulfils the intermediate editor role and JOSM fulfils the advanced
editor role very nicely. What we don't have, yet, is a simple,
friendly editor as a welcoming way into OSM.
I thought I'd start writing one.
So: iD. Pure JavaScript, using the Dojo toolkit (which is really nice).
It's at a really early stage of development. It doesn't save anything
yet, nor do any tagging, nor even let you delete things - that's how
early it is. After all, it'll be much better if the collective brains
of OSM and elsewhere apply themselves to the challenge, rather than
just me sitting in a room in Charlbury.
Fancy getting involved?
Here's the project page:

And here's the source:

Throw questions at me (on dev@) or just get started and hack away.
Between us we can build something really good.
cheers
Richard
