While the technology is somewhat similar, I don't think it makes sense to jam this into the mod_tile/renderd stack we'll most likely use, a separate service would seem like less PITA in this case.

Hi, just a quick note: as part of general search and discovery work, me
and
Yuri are resurrecting the project to have OpenStreetMap in Wikimedia starting in April. Because the initial part of this work will include researching options which will influence precise goals and this is yet to be done, we still can't commit to a precise timeline, but as a ballpark estimate I personally want to aim for serving PNG tiles at a reasonable, though not necessarily "dynamic maps on every WP page" scale by the end

Q4. Vector/multilingual maps would be the next stage. We will be mostly using Phabricator for planning, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/openstreetmap/ is my first pass on the outline of things to be done.
Your comments and suggestions would be highly appreciated, please share your thoughts, ideas of projects that might use these maps, or just merciless critique! :D
Commons also needs a tileserver, for zooming of huge images such as high-resolution artwork scans. I wonder if there is some overlap. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
