Potlatch2 still doesn't work for me - blank screen)

I discern a vague remap plan ordering. If you can, please sharpen this
up or correct it if it is outright wrong:
1) "The redaction bot" (still being written) will do much (to "ease in"
the license change),
2) "Nudge nodes to the location where they belong" is smartly next,
somewhat unspecified as to how/where,
The original TIGER import was of poor resolution. To set context,
'blars' originally lined up the streets with aerial imagery or gps
tracks. Most of his work shows up as node movements (yellow/orange
nodes), with a few red nodes (new nodes he added to improve geometry).
After the redaction bot runs, it will be clear on a grid against Bing
aerial that the intersections are misaligned. To remap those ways
ahead of time, just center those roads and intersections against Bing
aerial. Even a tiny movement will be enough to clean those nodes.
After a day or so, the license information should show as clean.
An example area is here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=33.9687&lon=-118.208&zoom=14&layers=M
In JOSM, his edits in that area show mainly as orange nodes, with a
few red nodes. JOSM's "View History" shows that most of his edits to
ways consisted of removing the 'tiger:reviewed=no' tag. So the
redaction bot will not change those ways at all.
3) Perhaps update with TIGER 2011 data in select areas, also
unspecified as to exactly where.
Now that I've had a chance to look at the areas, I think I'd reserve
use of TIGER 2011 for only new streets or mountainous,curvy roads with
original poor geometry, or for streets that blars created or split and
show as 'red'. For gridded streets, it's almost certainly easier to
just move the nodes instead of TIGER, usually to the center line of the
aerial imagery.
Why ask? I remain vague how I should prioritize my remap efforts, and
knowing redaction bot algorithm details helps me sharpen that up, I'm
pretty sure. (I am not alone). Heck, it could also be true that work
being done in the guts of these steps (does or will) make remap efforts
less or even not necessary. If so, a lot of people would appreciate
seeing those words outright. Or at least the necessary semantics to
infer where our efforts are best invested in this project. (We make
these judgements for ourselves based upon data, preferably excellent data).
These are good questions, the case handling is outlined on the page, in
the table "What taints data?".

Other areas may result in a different recommendation; feel free to
ask as those cases come up. It's quite a complicated and unusual situation
