Congratulation, that's a great work !

did you manage to find a way to provide localization for all languages within the vector tiles ?

cheers,

Congratulations! Awesome stuff, been looking forward to it for some
time. I particularly like the different resolutions for various device
uses.

Will try to add it as the default layer for the Wikimedia Commons
Wikimaps Warper (warper.wmflabs.org) application for georectifying
historical maps soon.  Perhaps one day the same architecture could be
used to power mosaics of historical atlases  - but let's get the world
right now working first :)

Cheers and look forward to seeing maps.wikimedia.org progress in the
months to come!
