Actually, that already happened a few months ago when NPR's Future Tense did a

It hasn't been released yet. That's why, although we already have Potlatch 2
support coded, it hasn't been deployed on any of the P2 instances (and I
believe the same is true for the JOSM sli

Never mind Steve Coast joining Microsoft (though I would guess several
people would have apoplexy over a husband and a wife working for rival
mapping companies), but the anticipated announcement that Microsoft
will let OpenStreetMappers trace from their imagery is a much more
welcome news to me! :-
Subject: [OSM-talk] Steve Coast Joins Microsoft as Principle Architect
ofBing Mobile
"Microsoft is donating access to it's global orthorectified aerial imagery
to help OpenStreetMappers make the map even better than it already is."
WOO HOO! Does anyone have the magic JOSM string for this?

Hello *,
I wonder why there are tags while uploading gpx tracks on the osm
website. Ok you can use it to tag the tracks but is there any
application using these tags or are there any planed?
I read about potlatch maybe using these tags but could not find whether
it is already implemented.
