Hi Mike, It's a prototype feature, and poorly documented! The basic scenario is that you have a .osm file representing some kind of external datasource, that you want to combine into OSM - i.e. not blindly upload directly to the main server. So you load the data up into a small rails app (snapshotserver)[1] which serves it out as map requests, and you use potlatch 2 to allow people to go through each feature and reconcile them with what's already in OSM. As a bonus, you can mark features as "complete", thereby collaboratively reviewing the external datasource. There's some information about this on the wiki[2] and a blog by Cyclestreets, who commissioned the work[3] I'd love any feedback you have on it.
