Nice to see changes on the openstreetmap.org website.

I would like to see more improvements which could enhance usability even more.

I would like to see
*more nearby users locations on the map (currently there is a limit of about 10)
*the possibility to hide nearby users who are inactive (inactive for certain amount of time, e.g. more than 3 months), ->dead accounts
*see nearby users of other places, e.g. when I move the personal map. Currently, I have to define other home location to see other users.
*possibility to write personal notes about "friends" on OpenStreetMap to keep track, e.g. "active user, maps in place x" etc.
*possibility to hide "friends" who are inactive to trim the personal friends list. ATM I have to remove their friend status which could be seen as an unfriendly act.
*possibility to search for specific tags one has applied to GPX tracks. So I could look for my GPX tracks of specific places. I use to tag my GPX tracks with the names of the locations.

I think those are my most immediate feature requests for the OSM map website.
Is there a page where one can list these feature requests, as there is for JOSM?

Thanks,

http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ . Best to discuss on the dev@ mailing list first.

To remove a friend friendly, send a message before you remove him or her.

@ wieland
Good idea. This is the social solution to the problem. Perhaps there could be a technical solution, too, though. But I will consider your proposal for my immediate need.

thx,
