Re: [OSM-dev] Training during read only database period
Mike Dupont
Can anyone help me on my comment:
"We have also planned an event in which particpants from various
country are involved during this period. This event can’t be
rescheduled. May I know, if there is any way (some other server),
where we can upload edits, user may see rendering their edits, which
may be lost or may be added to database at the end of your migration.
Any tip, help, alternate will be a big relief to us."

For the record, none of these are OSM services. FOSM is a fork of OSM
data performed by a few people who were not happy with the license
change and decided to make their own OSM-like project that will remain
under a creative commons license. Also, last I knew they didn't do
live rendering of changes so that may not be as useful for your
purposes.
If you were planning on using JOSM, you should still be able to
download data and make changes locally. You just won't be able to
upload them. I'm not sure if Potlatch will be available at all or not.
One thing you could do is download data and edit it in JOSM and then
save it out to a file on disk and render it locally using, for
example, Maperitive. I have a blog post about using Maperitive if you
would like to investigate this more:

It means that while the database is in transition, no additional
uploads can be performed. This really isn't a dev question, so it
should be going on the talk list.
But I want to point out to you, like Toby has, that none of the
services Mike Dupont has pointed you to will result in your data going
to OpenStreetMap, but rather to OSM competitors.
Mike, you should make it clear to a use who is asking about
contributing to the project that these servers/services you're
pointing out are *not* OpenStreetMap, but are in fact competitors to
the OSM project.
