I haven't had so much free time lately, but am comfortable with helping set
up and configure PostgreSQL and PostGIS and get the OSM database import
going.  Though, there are many more tasks to do that I have time to do.

Partitioning the servers in an optimal manner for us is something I'm not as
comfortable with.  I could figure it out if necessary, but Saper is probably
better capable of that.  One thing I do know is that the database logs
should be on separate partition from the database itself, and both kept
separate from the OS.

Here are a list of tasks:

On Cassini, work is needed on PostgreSQL configuration.
