Potlatch 2 has a bunch of "simpler" features than Potlatch, mostly revolving around tagging -- we're still making a full editor here, but if you imagine turning off the vector editing and the advanced tabs then it becomes much simpler proposition. It's also written in a way that doing those things would not be so difficult. There are two big advantages of a simple mode to an existing full editor: - you don't have to write the OSM handling parts again, even a simple editor needs to cope with some quite complex things - you provide an easy choice for the user who wishes to progress onto something less basic Anyway, for anyone who hasn't had a play with the latest development version of Potlatch 2, you can do so here on the dev server: http://random.dev.openstreetmap.org/potlatch2/potlatch2.html And anyone wishing to get involved, please do!
