As you may have seen on toolserver-l, I'm new here and I'd like to improve OSM-data by displaying access rights on different layers (as I'm doing here: http://access.t-i.ch/ ).
As far as I understand the discussion at [1], first thing would be to apply for getting added to the OSM-Prject-Group, right? This shall be done hereby. :)
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.
Is there any documentation what I have to do thereafter to get my tiles rendered at eg. http://toolserver.org/tiles/ti/<vehicle_type> or is more or less 'copy-paste' from existing projects?
Not yet. Test your style using the command line render tool (at the end of [1]). If your finished, come back and send the url to your style to this list. I or another member of the osm group will install it in renderd.
If so, I will try to set up a wiki-page with all your collected tipps on how to use mod_tile so the next newbie doesn't have to bother you that much. ;)
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.
(Maybe for some little-used keys like 'hgv' I will also try to set up a Query-to-map..)
