Hi,
I tried to simplify and re-organize the Wiki main page.
Due to the spam filter, I cannot create a new temporary Wiki page (e.g.,
WikiStartNew) to view, improve, discuss the new page. For this reason, I
attached the WikiText. Perhaps someone with a higher level of confidence
of not introducing spam, can create a Wiki page.
Any improvements, suggestions, comments are welcome :-)
Cheers,
Simon

== How to help ==
* [wiki:DevelopersGuide Help developing code] (e.g. write patches for entries
in [/report bug tracker])
* Review bugs in [/report bug tracker]: find duplicates, test bugs and add
more descriptive texts
* [wiki:Translations Translate] JOSM and the online help into your language.
* Update and translate the [wiki:Help online help]
* Unify and translate all JOSM related Wiki pages and join them with the
online help

== This site ==
* This site is a combined online help and bug tracking system for JOSM and
JOSM plugins
* No login is required to use this site (neither for reading nor for changes
to wiki or bug tracker)
* A login has following advantages:
* The JOSM applet can store settings on the server
* Mails are sent for changes in own bug tracker tickets (This is possible
also by entering an e-mail as username in the tickets, but you are unable to
change that later and the address is openly visible).
* Page settings are remembered (e.g. input field size and a lot of other
stuff)
* Logins which have no e-mail address or which have not been used at least
once are automatically deleted.
* The login to edit the OpenStreetMap database has nothing to do with this
server!
* '''NOTE: The secured HTTPS version of this site uses a
[wiki:ServerCertificate self-signed certificate] with
26:8B:4D:CB:AD:04:E7:50:EC:94:F8:34:83:CE:7C:06:8D:FD:61:3D as SHA1
fingerprint.[[BR]]You need to [wiki:ServerCertificate accept] this certificate
as valid to silence the warnings of your browser.'''
