I notice two scripts in the repo with the ability to upload:

./bin/mr2osc.mjs - converts a MapRoulette geojson to ocs files, and
upload unless --dryrun is specified

./bin/upload.sh - upload osmChange files using a python script. I have
not looked much into this one yet, as it showcases Stage 3.

mr2osc.mjs is used in Stage 2 (replacing street_number=x/y with
unit_number=x && street_number=y). For example, the Makefile rule
dist/unitFromNumber.osc is generated using this script. I have generated
the osc file[1]. However, this file contains 38k nodes, whereas the
input MR file[2] only has 12k features. So my question is - does anyonw
know what is the easiest way to see all the changes in this file staged
on a map, as a sanity check? OTOH I'd assume the file format is some
standard osm change format.

To Andrew: what specifically are you worried about with the upload
script, and how can we help with the testing and uploading?
