Re: [Maps-l] OSM-XAPI-instance on one of the wikimedia servers

Hello, we had this discussion in the past. Could we get a XAPI-instance[1] on one of our servers? I would like to use it for my Query-to-map project[2]. For other people this service is also usefull. In the moment the XAPI is so slow (2 kbit/s) that my script is out-of-service. I want to create a tool that shows the street names of all streets in a bbox. Every paper city map has such a list, so it seems usefull. My first, basic step in this direction is the script "streetlist"[3]. (It use gis database on cassini table "plane_osm_roads". ) Than all entries in this list should be link to Query-to-map, so that the user could see the streets in the map. For this I would also need a running XAPI. Because cassini had too few hard drive space the right place for XAPI would be IMO on Ptolemy. Who could decide this? Saper? Other question, could cassini get more hard drive space? How usefull would it be? The concept of the the three servers usage is now other than on the beginning.
