 Nicely done, Simone!

We are still dealing out on how to use this thru editors which do not
make use of WMS access to imagery.

Will potlatch or mapzen get WMS anytime soon?

Meanwhile, everybody is more than welcome to retrace on this new
imagery for italy. Some places are 2008 imagery, and some 2006. Very
well georeferenced btw.

Potlatch 1 will never have WMS support. Spherical Mercator is  
sufficiently hardwired into the code that supporting arbitrary WMS  
projections would be pretty much impossible. If the WMS server  
supported spherical Mercator I guess it'd be possible but it's not  
something I'm planning to do.

Potlatch 2 is a bit more projection-indepedent so could be made to  
support WMS in due course. It's not a priority for me because all the  
cool imagery is already in 900913 tiles. But  
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/potlatch2/ awaits  
your contributions!

IIRC there was some software released recently that will reproject  
nasty WMS to lovely 900913 tiles on the fly - sorry, can't remember  
the name but I’m sure someone here will. You could perhaps set this up  
on the dev server or similar. That'd be the fastest way of getting it  
into Potlatch.

The imagery sounds very cool.

cheers
Richard

The one that was recently released and that you perhaps think of is 
called MapProxy and does the reverse - it makes WMS from tiles 
(mapproxy.org). WMS-to-tiles is the simpler operation and can for 
example be done with an UMN mapserver.

Also, Tirex has a WMS backend so you can set up a caching tile server 
that draws its data from a WMS quite easily. The standard Tirex 
installation comes with a demo WMS setup already, you'd basically only 
have to change the URL.

Bye

[OSM-talk-fr] WMS GeoLittoral dans Potlatch (WAS: [OSM-talk] Italian Government approved the use of official data for OpenStreetMap updates)

2010-05-27 Thread François Van Der Biest
D'après Richard, Potlatch 1 ne gère que EPSG:900913 (mercator
sphérique) en ce moment.

Or, le serveur WMS GeoLittoral ne supporte que EPSG:4326 EPSG:27582 et
EPSG:2154.
Si on veut pouvoir l'utiliser facilement, il nous faudrait monter un
serveur WMS chargé de faire la reprojection vers 900913 (un MapServer
irait très bien), et, cerise sur le gateau : un cache de tuiles
(MapProxy me semblerait très à propos: http://mapproxy.org/) pour ne
pas surcharger le serveur GeoLittoral.

C'est sur ma TODO list dans les jours qui viennent, en utilisant
osm1.crans.org (ou autre machine ?).
S'il y a des gens motivés, me contacter.

F.

My fault not to have informed you any time sooner.

I did contact the ministry deputy in october and worked thru the
various steps in order to get approval for this.

Somewhere on this page there is the link to the actual authorization
letter addressed at me which allows use of the wms for osm retracing.
we might still need a way to use it thru potlatch.
