Team... I'm hesitant to say this, as it's been a long time in coming, and there's still a fair amount of tuning and fixup to be done, but I think the server may be ready for some bashing and testing.
If you can do me a favor, please go online, signup, and start editing data. You should be able to connect using JOSM by changing your connection settings to: http://www.openhistoricalmap.org/api/, or you should just be able to play around with Potlatch (thanks, Mikel!). http://www.ohmap.org/?lat=47.6088&lon=-122.32834&zoom=15&layers=H The tile server should refresh the data automatically, although it might be a little slow. I'm still learning on this front, so any suggestions for speeding it up are most welcome. If you haven't seen Mikel's presentation, it's very motivating & worth a spin: http://files.groundtruth.in/presentations/geodc-historic/#0 In addition to the automatic tile updating, other recent changes were related to style sheets. Builtup areas, national borders, and populated places have all been removed. Next steps: - Enter more data - Figure out how to get shorelines updated more easily - Switch over to Carto from the mapnik osm.xml stylings (I think that's the way to put it...) - Speed up rendering - See what happens Please let me know if you have any questions!
