I don't have enough time to take a leadership role in the project, but I
do have an interest in keeping Merkaartor as the tool of choice for
heavy mappers.
I'm now doing C++/Qt4 development professionally, and would like to play
a more active part in Merkaartor development again. The major stumbling
block is that I need to get comfortable with Git and Gitorious to be
able to contribute effectively.
I see the development priority to be stability first and foremost
(even if it's simply a matter of serialising the undo stack to disk
to recover from those occasional segfaults).
After that, I'd be interested in some improvements to relation handling
(two that come to mind include joining and splitting of multipolygons
just like simple areas, and intelligently deciding which ways to keep in
turn restrictions when way members are split).
Some indication to the user of differences in tags or
relation-memberships of ways or areas before joining would be useful,
too, to help avoid inappropriate joins.
