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)?
