We know that we will set up a production tileserver.
That is, Wikimedia
plans to have an OpenStreetMap tileserver, in production (that is, fully
supported by our Operations department and with uptime expectations
similar to those for our main sites). We need this not only for the
tools community but also for use in our official mobile apps. Brandon
Black is the contact for this. He is a member of the Operations team at
WMF. In order to set up a production-level tileserver, we will also need
a production OSM database, so he is working on figuring out how best to
grab that data from the official OSM database regularly (I am
oversimplifying here).
With "grab that data from the official OSM
database", do you mean the
question of how to scale across multiple servers and whether to couple
those servers or operate them entirely independently and do the load
balancing on the front end? Or are there other issues still open? If
there are problems or missing features with osm2pgsql and mod_tile /
renderd there is a chance I would be able to fix and incorporate them.
