Web interface
- enable upload of tracks in other formats as GPX. Save a default for each user.
- front page of OpenStreetMap.org more diverse for different user groups
- add forum link to the homepage
- same account for API and Wiki
- fix username login (no need for small case, no spaces)
- sending messages to people within bounding box
- RSS-feed/Mailing to get infos about newly approved features
- better access to GPX data, via API and dump of sorts
- link to a quality assurance page showing all the good tools we have (e.g. keepright, tiger tidy, ...)
Map (display) improvements
- mapping for disabled people, tactile paving - Results so far see OSM_for_the_blind
- treasure hunt game which at the same time collects geodata
- WMS OSM Mapnik server
- XAPI wanted back and stable!
- OpenHikingMap, OpenSeaChart, OpenAeroChart for all the world
- proper internationalization support, transliteration
- quick preview with all the renderers with my changes, side-by-side
- dynamic POIs (switch categories on/off, show description if mouse hovers over)
- Anyone have the URL that was mentioned? I'm reluctant to get a Twitter account just to look it up.
- Sure: http://dev.openstreetmap.nl/~rubke/xapi and click on 'Expand Panel'.
