Hello everyone!
Many of you probably heard about the Portable OSM project that SpatialDev and
Stamen have been working on with the American Red Cross.
Here's an introductory blog post if you missed it:

there's the SOTM-US video here:

Just today, Seth Fitzsimmons posted an extremely detailed blog post about how
POSM merges offline edits with the main OSM database once the POSM unit comes
back from the field. The process uses a git-inspired approach to detect which
changes can be applied automatically without conflict, and which ones require
manual oversight to merge with OSM.
Here's the blog post:

Enjoy!
