Happy birthday Potlatch

Posted by Richard on 19 May 2008 in English.

One year old yesterday... seems like at least ten. Your mileage may vary whether this is a cause for celebration or commiseration, but I've enjoyed writing it, so far!

Hey that is cool, and I for one have enjoyed using it, especially since you introduced the various layers/backgrounds. So, many thanks for all the hours spent, and heres to many more!

Celebration, undoubtedly. Potlatch is by far my favourite editor, and just keeps getting better.

Just a quick note of appreciation, its my primary editor, and really enjoy using it. Keep up the good work.

Another note of appreciation! Although I'm mainly a JOSM user, I very much doubt I would have got into contributing to OSM without Potlatch, it really helps lower the barriers to entry, so thanks for all your hard work!

Celebration certainly. An avid JOSM-user, I just realised I haven't actually used it for four months, Potlatch is so easy. Well done and thank you.

Congratulations and thanks Richard! (Potlatch is my primary editor). I think it is an essential part to open OSM beyond alpha/uber geeks (and that is essential for OSM future). All the best for future versions!

Only used it for a couple of weeks, but it's an elegant, stable piece of work. It has made contributing easier (and therefore more likely). Much appreciated.
