I disagree this point. I never used potlatch, because when I tried, my couple firefox/debian reminds me it doesn't like flash... which is actually unusable. So im not familiar with potlatch...( is each editing frame downloading the osm base to see if there is ways or nodes ? cause there are a lot of doubles cause by potlatch, or link untagged...) this is maybe why I feel close to Gert here... because all the pollution, all errors, all unwanted editings are done with potlatch... so the shortcut could be easily done. (It's not statistics... it's experience... ) The fact is... it's true... only patches can correct that. BUT ! for the moment... is-it normal to give a that easy access to a tool which could cause data loss ? or data pollution... Why not prefering to consider other solutions ? Why not downloading josm as a java web start app and give in the link the bbox from the browser ? has that question been discussed by the past ? It's not about disable potlatch, but we have to admin it needs love... > --0 > regards > Kenneth Gonsalves > Associate > NRC-FOSS > http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > -- Steven Le Roux Jabber-ID : ste...@jabber.fr 0x39494CCB <ste...@le-roux.info> 2FF7 226B 552E 4709 03F0 6281 72D7 A010 3949 4CCB _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
