Open Street Map with Free Flash Player

Gnash (the GNU SWF Player) supports Potlatch (the online OSM editor) since release 0.8.4. This means you can start now contributing to The Map no matter what system you have (incuding handhelds).

The only annoyance is that if you enable background images, the gui become unresponsive as bitmap are loaded.
The good new is that YOU CAN HELP removing this limitation. Not only by hacking on Gnash (which is fun on itself and I'd highly reccommend) but also by donating money to this project through Linux Fund.
