Current state of affairs: https://karta.wmflabs.org/static/ is up and running, and should have all the data soon. It uses mapbox stack, which means that it generates vector data tiles, and creates a PNG tiles on the fly. This also means that in a few days, you will be able to view WebGL based maps there too - rendered on the browser, with multiple styles, and rotatable.
The community needs this service, and has already built a large number of amazing projects even without the production-level vector service. Examples include * atlas-style drill-down map <http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/de/map/wikipedia-clustermap_36725> (umap, see more info <http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/>) * Wikidata-based map of pages by class <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wp-world/wikidata/superclasses.php?lang=en>, e.g. all rollercoasters <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osm-on-ol/kml-on-ol.php?lang=en&uselang=en&zoom=3&lat=0&lon=0&classes=204832> . * There is an amazing presentation <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wp-world/docs/ICC2013-WP-OSM-white.pdf> (pdf) by Kolossos (Tim Adler), that gives many more examples of the community-built map services and projects (OpenOffice format <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wp-world/docs/ICC2013-WP-OSM-white.odp>) P.S. Tomasz, it's Yuri, not Yuvi, and don't blame IRC auto-complete :) On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 7:57 PM, Max Semenik <maxsem.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey - yes, we're workig on serving map tiles.
