You can see now the people editing the map in real time at:
http://khtml.org (click "ticker")
Every edit results in an icon on the map.
The map is move and zoomable.
Clicking on the icons will show all tags of the
node or way.
have fun

Thanks a lot
The data are from here:
http://planet.openstreetmap.org/minute-replicate/
My server connects every minute to load the latest file with the information
about the last edits.
The data are reduced to the essential information and than zipped to transfer to the browser. The Browsers connect every minute (AJAX) and load the infos.
That's about 2 kByte per minute and could be loaded with a dialup modem.
Today there was a big data import in Columbia and a big 77 kByte file was generated.
With javascript the data are displayed in the browser.
If the user clicks to an icon, there is also an API request to load more information.
