[OSM-dev] Creation of dataset for import

[80n]

I'm just starting a project that will create a load of data for OSM, but
will be done off-line based on a static copy of planet.osm.

What I want to know is how to create that data so that it is most easily
imported back into the main database.

It will comprise a lot of new buildings and garden fences but will also
comprise plenty of other things (road re-alignments, new roads, open spaces,
etc) and will be created by a team of people tracing from aerial imagery.

So faced with planet.osm and surrey.osm how can they best be merged?
