Osmxapi gives you watch lists, just tag a couple of node, way or relations with watch:mrRuzzy=immutable_data and you can watch it in xapi: http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/watch/mrRuzzy/immutable_data http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmxapi#RSS_Feed But regarding what Frederik says. Communicating your desires to/onto other OSM users has always been the hardest part of OSM. If you had that live feed of OSM data changes then you could setup your own server that did rollbacks on all immutable data violation edits. But: Kind of sucks to have your data rolledback without you knowing it, even having a dialog saying "you are too stupid, don't edit this" might be a bit sucky. /Erik _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
