Cassini is back up now thanks to the Toolserver admins, since it's inactive at the moment I'm going to set it up with a rendering stack that'll run until Wikimania, of course if the database server pops back up at the beginning of august we may actually have something production ready by that time.
So what I'm going to do with it (pending objections) is:
- Set up a Planet.osm -> Cassini mirror
- Set up a multilingular PostGIS database (see
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19668). This should take around 50GB of space from the 345G /sql partition
For my hiking map (http://opentiles.com/cmarqu/), I would need some more keys imported with osm2pgsql. My default.style file is http://code.google.com/p/mapnik-utils/source/browse/sandbox/cascadenik/hike_...
Not sure if you want to support that already, but I thought I'd mention it.
What I'm setting up now on Cassini is just a temporary hacky system that rightly should be setup on the database server / tileserver, it'll be taken down again once the rest of this stuff is up.
I'm taking notes on what I'm doing here as I go along:
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Cassini/Setup_notes
and here are some scripts in MW svn I'm writing:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/tools/osm-tools/
It would be easy to add stuff the hiking map needs, but this is all a temporary setup anyway so we shouldn't move any production stuff to it I think.

Is there anything you need help with, such as setting up the database.
For the setup on the toolserver, I am fine with trying things and see how they work. But, I hope that we won't be locked into using one set of tools for rendering and working with the OSM data. It would be good to try alternative ways of styling the data that fit with what Wikimedia needs, beyond just supporting multiple languages.
