(This is a reply to the original mail by SteveC this month.) I created the new OSB because I wanted reliable access to the data. I think that this goal was reached.
There is kind of an API, it is already used by the JOSM openstreetbugs plugin. You can use it to create, comment, close or fetch bugs. If other API features are needed, they can be added. The source code and database structure is available. I would like to see a bugtracker like this on the main page. My first attempts to get in touch failed and I lost interest. Candid Dauth is currently working on a client that can easily be added as a layer in OpenLayers. I think the basic, simple to use and anonymous interface should remain for unexperienced guests. After the login I would like to see an advanced interface, for example allowing categorization, assigning a bug to yourself or someone else, customizing number and categories of shown bugs and so on. The current implementation is quick and dirty, there is a need of improvement or reimplementation. If someone else wants to spend time on that, please go ahead. I will help if I can. Last, but not least, let me point you to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bugtracker_proposal Regards, Mitja _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
