There's lots of documentation :-) Unfortunately, I'm at the level of OSM expertise such that I want one document about this usecase (which might then point to others for subtasks), and I'm not seeing that. >> or you can ask on the [email protected] list. I'll try that: one presumes folks need to know how to setup local instances for testing, and that therefore someone has documented the process.
