[josm-dev] New projection for JOSM
Hi, Could someone from the core team apply the following patch: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/3737 adding a new projection required by the cadastre-fr plugin. Since 10 days, the French cadastre WMS has changed the projection for two third of the municipalities from the old Lambert 4 zones to a new projection called Lambert Concic Conform 9 Zones. This patch will allow me to publish a new version of the plugin to restore our access to the WMS. Thanks, Pieren ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
Re: [josm-dev] Plugin Popularity
instead of today's JOSM/1.5 (2069 SVN en_GB) Java/1.6.0_0 I would transmit JOSM/1.5 (2069 SVN en_GB; wmsplugin, validator, slippymap) Java/1.6.0_0 This could create some network overhead - there are 39 plugins in JOSM's official plugin list, of those I have personally 16 installed (plus one that I made myself). In situation where JOSM is making many requests (WMS plugin? Download way members? Upload not as atomic/diff uploads?) this could be ... not good. 200 extra bytes per request (or even more if you'll include plugin versions) seems to be not much, but it is probably more than rest of request headers. Users with slow upload (ADSL, ...) won't be happy. Browsers usually also only report their version and not list of installed plugins (ok, with browsers this could be a bit privacy and security issue) This would enable us to make an estimate about which plugins are most popular, and we could rank them accordingly - assuming the most popular ones are also the most important ones. If you find this undesirable (it is a privacy issue but we have already sneaked in the version and language without asking anyone), then I would like to find some other way to indicate to new users which plugins are those commonly used. Some way that won't shout complete list with every request. Perhaps add some X-installed-plugins header only to requests to fetch the plugin list (http://josm.openstreetmap.de/plugin) Martin ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
Re: [josm-dev] Plugin Popularity
Vhat about to make it legal? As in eclipse or netbeans, show to user one page, where will be writen, that josm coul monitor his ussage off josm sw and report it to its autors to improve future versions. Only uploaded data will be a list of plugins. This upload will be done on any change in used plugins... What do you think about this? In future there could be an optional monitoring for monitoring ussages of all buttons in josm. PS: also some linux distributions (minimally kubuntu) ask for permission about to monitor popularity of installed packages. Default is this option off.

Can't you just analyse the requests made by josm to josm.openstreetmap.de when someone wants to update existing or install new plugins? I think this could be the best solution as it causes traffic very rarely and only when you want to modify or check your installed plugins. Additionally, noone else except the admins of josm.openstreetmap.de will get this information, so most people minding their privacy should be able to accept this. This would work with every version of josm, even old ones, no modifications are needed here. The only thing you have to do is to add some statistics part to the webserver. best regards ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
