Thanks for that.  I have been watching that page, but not its children
and it seems that there have been some improvements, with josm now
running in openjdk (which is free software, right?) and not only the
sun jre.

Also, I've finally got rawedit and amenity editor working in my browser
so I can quickly edit the map even where I can't draw in josm.

Big steps forwards!

Thanks again,
