Hi Peter,

I'd say jump in and get started. And code always talks best :-)

All of the stuff you mention is covered by opensource code, either the
main website or the namefinder. Some wiki URLs to get you up and
running with the code are

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/The_Rails_Port
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Namefinder

If you give them a spin and have any questions, please jump on the
development mailing list to continue the conversation -
dev at openstreetmap.org . SVN accounts are available on request too when
you have improvements to add.

Cheers, and happy coding,
Andy
