Would help the rest of us in knowing what to do next.
After 0.6 is out, we're planning on working on OAuth support for the OSM website. This will, amongst other things, help promote having editors running on other websites without the third-party-website asking for OSM credentials. After that I want to figure out how to get a different version of Potlatch working on opencyclemap.org, especially with my own set of cycling-related presets. I think having even just multiple versions of Potlatch working on different websites will start relieving the pressure of there being _the_ editor. If we can get other people experimenting with Potlatch (or even Chris Schmidt's previous Openlayers-based editors) then we'll get more creativity, and then it's up to the community as to which one we pick out for the main website. I don't want there to be any compunction for online editor development being shackled to osm.org (which potlatch is at the moment, to a great extent). As for what I think you were really asking, we're really focussed on our release at the moment, but we're always interested in seeing what developments in editors there are. As well as advanced stuff (like Matt's terracing plugin he's been working on) we're also interested in the ultra-newbie editor stuff you're discussing here, but it's the enabling technologies like OAuth that we're actively working on/scheduling.
