I suspect starting at even this level of complexity would cause feature creep towards Potlatch, anyway...In particular, being able to add/edit ways requires handling many complex concepts (as others have brought up), like joining ways, way direction, overlapping ways, etc. How about an even bigger step back? If starting a new editor from scratch is to be worthwhile, surely it should be a LOT more basic than all other existing editors. i.e. how about only these features: 1) Add POI User specifies: a) where it is b) what it is (choose from a single list of options) c) the name 2) Edit Name e.g. add or fix the name of an existing road - this should help a lot with noname roads Secondly: can we please decide on the scope of before we talk about the details of the implementation (flash/javascript/etc)? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
