I got it running myself, but I am seeing this error:

derick at whisky:~/install/changemonger $ python app-test.py

(app-test is just a small wrapper so that I don't need to use a web 
frontend:

def show_changeset(id):
    cset = helpers.get_changeset_or_404(id)
    sentence = changemonger.changeset_sentence(cset)
    return jsonify(sentence=sentence)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    show_changeset(12562711)

)

http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/12562711
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "app-test.py", line 37, in <module>
    show_changeset(12562711)
  File "app-test.py", line 33, in show_changeset
    sentence = changemonger.changeset_sentence(cset)
  File "/home/derick/install/changemonger/changemonger.py", line 99, in 
changeset_sentence
    english_list =  elements.grouped_to_english(sorted_features)
  File "/home/derick/install/changemonger/elements.py", line 95, in 
grouped_to_english
    feature.plural))
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'plural'

- not knowing python too much, I've no idea what this means...

cheers,
Derick
