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.
Cheers,
Andy
