Hi Aycan, I wrote a few diary entries on this subject. In the first one of the series, you'll find the link to a tutorial on how to do this. It really takes you through every single step, and results in a clean Postgres database and cool animated maps of the evolution of your area of interest. It's a good idea to start small, as you said.
I didn't know the first thing about SQL, Python, OSM history data, Linux, command line work, etc. when I started this. I'd be happy to help out where I can. I do most of my post-processing in SPSS. If that's of use to you, I can share those scripts too. They might kind of work in PSPP too. Maybe.
