I can provide a version of JOSM to auto-save from command line. Together
with the already implemented open file, it can be used to merge diffs
together on command line.

Then the server can provide diffs for the current day (just a select
statement for all elements with date=today). I bet a nice Munich
membership postcard that Steve can do that within, say, 30 Minutes. ;-)

With all diff's and a base planet.osm from the starting of the diff
series, you can obtain the daily planet.osm by, say:

java -jar josm.jar planet.osm diff1.osm ... --save=planet-today.osm


But better prepare your machine for LOTS of memory usage! ;-)

Ciao, Imi
