Hei,

I am just curious. In particular because:

- Steve Singer adapted the roadmatcher source code to work with 
OpenJUMP, so the OSM people can integrate Canadian Data from the 
official topographic service with existing OSM data

- I meet somebody from OSM this weekend, which planned to do the above 
with OJ.

- This person (Richard Weait) asked me if I would present at the OSM 
conference in Amsterdam - because OJ is perfect for data editing and 
this may give as new users and even developers (Richard told me that the 
  contributor list is doubling every 6 month, now being about 100'000 - 
and they also attract people who are interested in developing tools).

- The OSM wiki even mentions OpenJUMP as tool: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenJUMP

I created a list of possible things that need to be addressed when 
working with OSM data after meeting Richard containing: GML template, 
Projection stuff, GPS import tools, particular tools to create lines 
from points and tools for data cleaning (I guess the later may be out 
there - since they have these online tools), among a couple of other 
things.
We actually should have made this another GSofC proposal. On the other 
hand - Richard told me, that there may be a chance to get some small 
funding from one of the OSM service companies for a student that is 
willing to work on such things (but of course - nothing is for sure).

so...anyone? or any thoughts?
