Speaking of which why don't we have any users yet? Is everything stalled on getting the DB machine up or are there some tools that can just use Cassini as-is? How is Unix-account approval being managed (who's taking care of that?).
For more users on the machine perhaps we should write a new message on the different mailing lists that it now starts. The last message from us was at the beginning of april. I can post to the german OSM list and can contact some people directly which are geo interested. Some of them have a already a toolserver account.
Perhaps somebody else can post to the english list.
On jira is no OSM-Toolserver account request pending [1],[2]. That's the start point, than I can support the admins to decide about such a request.
Also if we have no database-server in the moment it could be only good for the setup of cassini if we know what people wants to do.
Thanks.
Yeah it'll have to be advertised, but it's not very useful now for the general tool user. We do have a mapnik database though but that only goes so far.
I'm just hoping to get more people who are interested in the rendering stack now, and hopefully a lot of different people later once the main DB is up.
