[OSM-dev] New Program: Changemonger

[Serge Wroclawski]

Pawel,

I agree, and activity streams was one of the first use cases for this.

One nice thing about Changemonger's open design is that it cares more
about collections of elements than changesets, so you could feed it
all the changes in area across changesets, and it would be able to
tell you something like:

"On Tuesday there were four roads added"

This is a fictional example because the code for this isn't written
yet, but I think for users, it might make more sense to move away from
changesets to the actual changes.

The next thing I want to tackle with Changemonger is an RSS -> RSS
feed translator that turns OSM RSS feeds into the same, but with
descriptions people can understand. If you show me what needs to be
done on my end to use your Activity Streams stuff, I will push that
high on the list.
