Re: [josm-dev] Need advice about a recent change in Mapview blocking the plugin cadastre-fr and its Lambert zone projections

And I cannot ask the plugin cadastre-fr to change again the projection zone once there is something present in a layer. So, I don't know how this issue could be fixed. Implement preferences into Lambert and drop the autodetection. This is anyway a necessary step. Instead of auto-detection you can then implement a suggest projection switch requester when user tries to initialy use cadastre-fr in an outside region.

It's easy to edit one single node in Potlatch, but I couldn't find a way to move directly to the next node so it meant reloading Potlatch for each node ... I know I could write a program using the API, but I actually expected to find this is JOSM. Is there any plans to add the possibility to download/edit a single node? (The use-case is of course bug-fixing.) You can use the Open URL feature or remote control plugin for this. PS! The start page of JOSM mentions the Newbies mailing list. However, I can't find it anywhere else on josm.openstreetmap.de. I could have fixed http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/StartupPageSource myself, but I thought I should ask in case the list actually exists... What do you mean?

Ciao I could do that but this will not help if MapView is always calling the projection with east-north values that are outside the region.

Increasing the number of available lists does not necessarily increase the quality. You are right from the developers point of view. But if there is a user who is just having some questions then he might hasitate of signing up to a developers list. At a user list advanced users who are no JOSM developers (like me) can help without disturbing the developers. The developers do not even have to sign up to the users list because the advanced users can surely forward serious issues to the developers list or help other users filing a bug at trac. I think that especially with an increasing number of users this might be a good thing for both the developers and the users. Well, to make a bit more clear what I wrote above. I think the newbies list and the language specific talk lists already cover that. Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason seems to be active answering seldom JOSM questions in newbies list. In talk-de lots of people answer. Most of the newbies questions aren't software-specific, but most often they are OSM specific. When we divide that we get OSM specific with josm point of view and general osm specific which is not really helpful. Probably a newbies-de is more needed than a josm-newbies.

Agreed, the JOSM community isn't so large that it has overgrown the general OSM mailing lists, the general lists also have the advantage that when someone asks an editing question they'll frequently get answers detailing how to do things in multiple editors. JOSM isn't /always/ the right tool for the job :) ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev

Most of the newbies questions aren't software-specific +1 - A newbie often doesn't even know whether what he wants to ask is a tagging question, a data model question, or an editor question. As far as I know, there's no extra mailing list for Potlatch or Merkaartor users either. You mean http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/merkaartor/ ? And I hope that Richard isn't your benchmark when it comes to deal with a community ;-) BTW: talk-de is a high traffic list and I know that from the 10 regulars here at the NFE meeting there are 8 that unsubscribed from talk-de because they can't / don't want to cope with the amount of incoming traffic.

I agree with Dirk that if you wanted to alleviate this, creating a German newbies list would do more for you than creating an international JOSM users list.
