one document about this usecase (which might then point to others for
subtasks), and I'm not seeing that.

I'll try that: one presumes folks need to know how to setup local
instances for testing, and that therefore someone has documented the
process.

Which would you suggest for one-off use by "the general public" at a
meeting? Ease of first use is obviously stressed over functionality.

Makes sense, but I dunno how to implement that. Where to go to learn?

I like the sound of the latter option, since I'd prefer not to hafta
setup a separate system. But again, I don't know enough about OSM to
implement that. Where would I go to learn?
