What about the USB sticks? Those should be on hand so you can boot anyone into a Linux environment with the right java and latest josm if they were curious about josm but did not come expecting to try it or something?
i had no luck booting my laptop into linux to use linux software, but I hear it works for a large % of people. This would also solve the "we are in a computer lab and can not get permission to install java or josm on the machiens" issue as well. I am sure there is an image somewhere and someone could try and make just a rough outline of the steps for our more tech savy people to try and replicate. cheers blake On Sat, May 14, 2016 at 3:39 PM, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think if we suggest they download Java before arriving, josm-tested.jar > can be copied for a USB stick or local server ie laptop.
