[OSM-talk] rails port beta live

[SteveC]

spent a day coding, look at:

http://openstreetmap.servebeer.com/

with thanks to dan moore and nick black for some bits

notes off the top of my head:

* api 0.4, clean rewrite of all code
* GPX api
* nicer+faster GPX navigation
* user diaries (alpha)
* make other users your friends (alpha)
* very broken potlatch integration
* user settings
* make your edits public, and have that appear in API data
* slippy map resizes to window

now for the downside:

* only tested on firefox 2.0.0.2. I don't have a windows machine to get
   IE working.
* no editors can actually speak 0.4 yet AFAIK
* undoubted misc bugs with MIME types, UTF8 sanity checking, funny 
looking URLs. Also the social networking side is alpha.
* no search api yet, but it won't be hard

Please feel free to fix any bugs you find or put them on trac 
(http://trac.openstreetmap.org/) with 'rails_port' as the component.

Please test to your hearts content things like the API, RSS etc etc etc.

Unless the world explodes it can probably go live over the developer 
weekend (which is 6 days away).

have fun,
