Hi,

   it may amuse JOSM developers to read Jochen Topf's blog article,


http://blog.jochentopf.com/2012-09-21-making-it-easier-to-add-data-to-openstreetmap.html

which was written in response to the news that MapBox have received half a million dollars in funding and are planning to improve OSM's usability.

Jochen remarks: "Ohloh estimates the cost for developing JOSM, the most powerful OSM editor we currently have, at about 10 million dollars. Suddenly the half million does look small :-)"

The numbers are of course to be taken with a grain of salt, and available for your inspection here: https://www.ohloh.net/p/josm/estimated_cost

Bye
Frederik
