Well, at least it was fixed. It is much better experience than what I had after 
reporting

some bugs to Firefox/Libre Office bug trackers or other major projects.




 There are issues with Mapnik but at least project is not dead.

What would you recommend for someone starting a new project?

Sorry if I missed recommendations on your page but I found only 
http://www.imagico.de/pov/tutorials_en.php 
<http://www.imagico.de/pov/tutorials_en.php> and from what I understand it is 
for 


making images like http://earth.imagico.de/view.php?site=newzealand_whole 
<http://earth.imagico.de/view.php?site=newzealand_whole>

rather than for making maps.







Recently Mapzen ecosystem looked interesting for me (though 


making maps good from cartographic design viewpoint was not one of

its strength), but I picked poor moment to start with Mapzen :)
