How would that compare to the existing OSM clients currently in the
archive? Some of those are:

emerillon - map viewer for the GNOME desktop
gosmore - Openstreetmap.org viewer / wayfinder / search client
josm - Editor for OpenStreetMap
merkaartor - map editor for OpenStreetMap.org

Why can't you call it Cosmo or Osmo-Clint or any better name? (Osmo is
already used and not related to OSM)?

And navit and marble and foxtrotGPS and gpsdrive and viking and
gpxviewer and memphis.

Check out the big list at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop
to see the fairly thorough mining of this seam of names. Is this app
in that list?

Not that this burgeoning of map apps is a bad thing - no so long ago
we had none, and now our cup overfloweth. Hooray for open data. And
there is plenty of difference between many of these apps in render
mode, navigation, UI, functionality, integration, dependencies. But it
is worth examing what the particular benefits/aspects of a new app are.

I am slightly perplexed to see in that list that there is a 'Gnome Map
Application' that only runs on Windows. Funny old world.

We need to distinguish between what the situation is now, and what we think
the situation should be. I believe 'gnome' should only be used by things
which are part of the GNOME project, but I haven't done any researhc into
how widespread the problem is, nor have I discussed it with the GNOME team,
nor have I proposed it as a release goal for wheezy+1. Perhaps I (or we,
or someone) should start this work before compounding the problem.

Do you know that there is a page which (hopefully - just tell me if I'm
wrong!) lists all OSM related applications in Debian?

http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/tasks/osm

Its builded using the Blends framework[1] and it is my poor share to
support the Debian GIS team (any more knowledged input about packages
that might fit into the GIS scope would be more than welcome).

Kind regards

Andreas.

If it pulls in half of GNOME when you install it, its nice to have the
name "gnome" in there somewhere.

Well I disagree, but either way, it doesn't¹:

I don't see 'libgnome' anywhere.
