Hi, I've been very busy for a while and am just beginning to see the light in terms of free time I will spend on improving JOSM. (Thanks to Gabriel who has obviously fixed lots of bugs and responded to enhancement requests!) I see that there's a lot of discussion about the UI on the Wiki, as well as a number of bugs in Trac (and some patches there as well) that I'll have to look into.
If anyone has put a patch in Trac that has been ignored for no apparent reason, I will probably catch up with it during the next week or so but it doesn't hurt to point me at it directly. Is there anything consensus-like about the most important things that should be done next? My personal impression is that we'll first have to address the "accidental moving" problem (what would be the best way you reckon?), then fix the "cascading relations upload" bug which was revealed during OpenGeoDB import, and then get the damn Mappaint mode to work faster, it seems incredibly slow once you load a sizeable area. I think there was a tuning patch for the wireframe display which I haven't applied to the mappaint side of things so that could help already but I guess there's a lot more to be done. Has anyone already done work in these areas, and/or does anyone see different priorities? I'd also like to hear from those subscribed here if there's anything I can do to get you to contribute to JOSM, not only by developing cool new stuff but also by tending to Trac every now and then and fixing bugs that may make some folks out there unhappy. It seems that this job, at the moment, rests on Gabriel's and my shoulders (with me not having done a lot recently...), and I would really like to have a core team of about five developers who somewhat feel responsible for JOSM; I'd consider that a prerequisite to someday releasing JOSM into the OSM SVN.
