Hi Tom, So, along with the big 'kicking off' blog post on MapBox[1], I posted three basic issues in the openstreetmap-website tracker - JSON support, filtering on the main api, and a tag api. I think these are important, but there are far more important things. And also, these issues seem

Hi Ian, Thanks for the response. What you wrote about partitioning the data etc. is exactly what concerns me with the Changeset Activity Publisher implementation - it will get too big with time. On the other hand, for social purposes I guess there is no need to hold on to every single change

Hi, It is trivial to do in PostGIS (ST_LineMerge) or anything that can deal with standard (OGC) geospatial types, e.g. RGeo in Ruby. However from my experience I can tell you that working with route relation geometries is very tricky because of how they are mapped. At least for road and bicycle

Hi Roland, Overpass API now offers Augmented Minute Diffs. The idea goes back to a talk of Matt Amos at SOTM 2010. These diffs allow e.g. to keep a geographically limited database extract up to date. This looks really good and may be useful for a project that I'm working on. Quick
