Hallo Peter,
Beeing a member of this group gives you administrative control over the osm systems. If you just want to work on you're stylem this is not necessary.
Ah, ok, I won't need that. :)
He shouldn't need to know about the exact setup but only on how to test the style using the command lien tool and how to submit it to the list.
With the help of /home/mazder/styles/surveillance/surveillance.xml I found the necessary settings. Yay, it works! :)
/home/ti/styles/bicycle.xml http://toolserver.org/~ti/map.png
Is it possible to (read-)access the Postgre-DB from outside? So far I use pgAdmin as a graphical interface for my querries (e.g. to see what different values there are for 'bicycle').
Regards, Thomas
