If we could set up mapnik on the login servers
is any set up required besides installing it?
Put some HD-Space from ptolemy or from a store ;) into cassini
the current plan seems to be swapping cassini and ptolemy, so ptolemy (which has twice as much space) will become the OSM Toolserver.
Connect Postgresql with LDAP and open it read-only to the regular login- & webservers.
i don't think using LDAP is a good idea. it will encourage users to write their LDAP passwords into their tools, and it's not uncommon for people to expose these passwords due to programming errors. while LDAP passwords can't be used to log in, it seems better to use separate database passwords, like we do for MySQL.
i can't comment on the OSM-specific tasks as i don't know much about that.
What are yours?
Marcin and i have agreed on a plan for ptolemy: it will become the OSM Toolserver, running PostgreSQL and Apache (for tiles), but with no user access. OSM tools will move to the regular Toolserver, and access ptolemy remotely. we are currently waiting on WMF approval to implement this.
