[Maps-l] OSM-XAPI-instance on one of the wikimedia servers

[Tim Alder]

Hello, we had this discussion in the past.
Could we get a XAPI-instance[1] on one of our servers?
I would like to use it for my Query-to-map project[2]. For other people
this service is also usefull.
In the moment  the XAPI is so slow (2 kbit/s)  that my script is 
out-of-service.

I want to create a tool that shows the street names of all streets in a 
bbox.
Every paper city map has such a list, so it seems usefull.
My first, basic step in this direction is the script "streetlist"[3].
(It use gis database on cassini table "plane_osm_roads". )
Than all entries in this list should be link to Query-to-map, so that 
the user could see the streets in the map.
For this I would also need a running XAPI.

Because cassini had too few hard drive space the right place for XAPI 
would be IMO on Ptolemy.
Who could decide this? Saper? 

Other question, could cassini get more hard drive space? How usefull 
would it be?
The concept of the the three servers usage is now other than on the 
beginning.
