Hi Pat
Let's just start off in #sahana-eden ... I can probably answer most questions
myself, but just might have some backup.
Both JOSM and Potlatch are actively developed. Potlatch is getting better and
better, and is browser based. JOSM is "industrial strength", and mostly runs on
the desktop. There is an experimental applet version
(http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Applet) but it's not fully functional, or
really an active focus.
Looked at the projects, and see too. Tighter integration with Potlatch and
Sahana sounds cool.
The importer is possible as well ... do you have use cases for this? Are there
particular types of OSM map features useful for Sahana? Does the import need to
synchronize, or just overwrite?
Look forward to it!
