Re: [Talk-GB] Licence redaction ready to begin

2012-07-10 Thread Ed Loach
 We are
 expecting to
 begin on _Wednesday_ (11th July) assuming a couple of final setup
 details are completed by then.
 
 The bot will run with Ireland first of all, then the UK, then the
rest
 of the world. Consequently please expect to see a few changes to
 your
 local area later this week.

Does later this week suggest that we have some idea of how long
the bot will take, and there is a rough estimate of when IE and GB
will be completed?

Thanks,

Ed

We are expecting the bot to take around a month for the whole world, but
there are so many variables it's impossible to say. In particular, the test
runs have run on test hardware, and we don't know what speed it'll run on
the live hardware/database - which is faster, but also has the slight
complicating matter of people using it for mapping! :) There is also some
uncertainty about whether monster planet-spanning relations will have an
adverse effect on the run.

However - and I'm sure those who know more about the technicalities of it
will correct me if I'm wrong - I think it's entirely plausible that the
British Isles will be complete by the end of this week.

cheers
Richard

Just wanted to wish good luck to all those involved in the project.

Hope it all goes smoothly.
