Only speaking on my own behalf (and not for anyone else involved with Vespucci), I've recently been doing some work on Vespucci.
Vespucci is an Android OSM editor, primarily online, although you can download a chunk of data and then work on it without an internet connection. Its GPS logging support is rather poor. It records a track to overlay on the map, but right now doesn't do anything else with it (i.e. save it or export it). There are plans for direct uploading to OSM. I had been pondering what sort of tool would make address data collection easy, so finding KeypadMapper has got all sorts of ideas rolling around my head. Since Vespucci would (or could) have the OSM street topology available, it sounds quite possible for a KeypadMapper-type tool to be integrated that adds nicely positioned address data points relative to the road line, rather than your current (track) position. My current use for Vespucci is gathering street names, so most of my recent work has been geared to that - primarily by improving application stability and usability, and by adding OpenStreetBugs support (which needs network comms). I've been using OpenStreetBugs as my online POI database of things to survey. It probably wouldn't take too much work to create offline bug reporting, and upload bugs when comms become available. One day I'll run out of street names to gather and start thinking about addresses, but that's months away. I'd like to see Vespucci become a "one stop" OSM editor-in-the-field on Android, and when I have time I do what I can, but what's really needed is additional Android developers, so if anyone can help, even if it's just ideas and feedback, it would all be appreciated.
