As was discussed by Frederik, I think the end goal should be a real-time OSM stream of what's getting applied to the database. Doing that in a performant way is relatively difficult (which is why we're using Osmosis and minutely diffs right now), but I think we should be striving for having a realtime XML feed. If we assume that's the goal (ok, it can just be my goal and you guys can think I'm crazy :)), what do we need to think about or plan for in the future to make it happen? DB triggers? API collation? Realtime data stream server**? I'd love to hear lively, continued discussion on this topic. -Ian ** Currently, my day job is writing server software for medical devices that does "broadcast" streams of XML data over TCP/HTTP channels. I'd love to spend some time working on this if I knew there was a source for the data.
