Todo

This software isn't finished, here's what I'd like to add. Feel free to send a patch

  • Write to compressed output (Gzip & Bzip2). Also in a separate thread too
  • Read (& uncompress) input file in a separate thread. This multiprocessing should make things faster.
  • Query the OSM.org servers for current status, and update the CSV. e.g. close exisiting changesets, and add new one. The Dump is only once a week.

Examples of it being used

  • Your project here!
