Hi all, I am a casual user of JOSM. Please forgive that I didn't use either the talk mailing list or the newbies mailing list as I see talk having a broad overviewish agenda and newbies (for well newbies). While it would have been nice to have a josm-users ML but since that is not there had to take recourse to this one. Also please CC me as I have disabled the ML as I have too many ML's that I have signed up for and hence disable projects sending mail which results in more unread posts/threads .
I see/saw that JOSM has started doing summarized changelogs since early this year[0] [1]. Is it possible to get summarized blogs from 2k5 onwards when JOSM started its development [2] ? . The thing is I put up a bug-report [3] which was negated because the maintainer felt/saw that there is no user-friendly changelog. It would be nicer if we can get a bit more history on the tool. I do have few more questions as well. Is there any move to move to git entirely . I do see that you have both the svn [4] and git [5] vcs versions happily co-existing it would be nice perhaps to have everything in git by default . One of the off-shoots of such a move would be having logs would be cinch as well as branching and trying new things might become easier. I am sure the devs. have already done quite a bit of comparative analysis of the two tools hence would be nice to know. I do know as it stands that right now SVN is the preferred/official VCS. One of the more interesting bits of the project was when I was reading was the releases documentation [6]. It would be nicer/would have been nicer if this info. would be in the Startup page somewhere [7] especially the point that 'JOSM does not have a version number really (it is 1.5 for some years now), but uses the always increasing version of source code repository. ' Just my 2 paise. Any light on any or all the above topics would be deeply appreciable. Looking forward to some guidance. 0 - http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Changelog?action=history 1 - http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Changelog?version=1 2 - http://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser?rev=1 3 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666190 4 - http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk 5 - git://github.com/openstreetmap/josm.git 6 - http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Releases 7 - http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/StartupPage -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
