Greetings, OSM Community 
Today marks the unveiling of my most ambitious project yet: OpenStreetMap-NG.
Nearly a month in the making, I am super excited to bring this to light.
This project is a transformative rewrite of the foundational OSM infrastructure1,2 to Python. Its goal? To simplify contributions, secure against vandalism, and modernize the API, all while remaining backwards compatible.
(Some) Highlight New Features
- 100% Python; Move away from the complexities of Ruby, C++, and SQL.
- API 0.7; A streamlined, future-proofed update that addresses many 0.6 challenges.
- Anti-Vandalism Hardening; A comprehensive 3-stage strategy to combat vandalism.
- Optimized Performance; An innovative parallel diff processing algorithm.
- …and a lot more in the full document
The announcement comes in two forms:

Commentary Video
(I don’t usually do videos, so bear with me.)
UPDATE: In the video, I mentioned MongoDB replacing the PostgreSQL database, but that is no longer the case. OpenStreetMap-NG will work with PostgreSQL. Please see the document for the updated information.
Questions? AMA!
I understand that what is obvious to me may not be so for others. Because of that, I will be hosting two open AMA video sessions, collecting questions from you—the community. I will then format all the questions and answers and publish them on the project’s website. Feel free to hop in, even just to chat about anything! 
Nov 5, 08:00 to 09:00 UTC← click to see in your local time- Nov 8, 10:00 to 11:00 UTC
UPDATE: I created the FAQ document here.
