Hello Dane,
I wanted to ask you if you have the technical skills to implement a
Tile server (Mapnik) with a fast update cycle.
Yes.
The thing is that the people managing the Ushahidi Chile website are
willing to go back to OpenStreetMap as their default map layer, but
ask me for a more "appealing" render.
Okay, would be really good to know more about what that means.
For haiti then went from tile.osm.org to --> haiti.openstreetmap.nl --
> mapbox tiles as overlay on tile.osm.org
What worked, didn't, might, could, etc... is important. Perhaps I
should get in contact with ushihidi lead directly?
I also know the mapbox folks. I don't think they do not have fast
update cycle, but do have great styles.
I thought of CloudMades Custom Style renders, but the problem is
that I want to preserve the OSMF render ability to update the tiles
in a very fast cycle (lets say ten minutes) using the diffs. We are
working in the earthquake affected area and I want to show that as
soon as possible in the render, not 10 days later.
Sure, How much custom tags and data is being used so far?
I am notoriously unskilled in this kind of technologies, so I can
provide the requirements, and maybe intervene on simple tasks like
the configuration of the XML file that controls the style of the
render, but in everything else I totally depend on more experienced
people.
Sure, you bet!

Thanks for your help.

Dane, Julio and all-
If introductions are not already done, Dane (who put up a now stable
WMS featuring OSM images background tiles ) meet Julio (who is doing
a hell of coordination work within the OSM Chile Community)
I am just introducing you on the deployment of such a service to
support relief work in Chile we had been briefly alluded to Dane and
I while Dane was working on enhancing the quality of its WMS to make
it robust enough to meet UNOCHA map production needs in Haiti. I
heard from Severin (Haiti UNOCHA) that you are almost there Dane
(nice and neat). If replicable by you or somebody else in OSM, this
is a service that must come together with the already OSM shp and
garmin extracts from cloudmade and geofabrik.
I leave this in your hands
Best to both of you and all
N

Hello Severin,
I'll comment below inline...

Hi Dane,
I tested these two WMS in ArcGIS as "GIS servers"in ArcCatalog,
then put into ArcMap as background
Okay. Which version of ArcGIS are you running?
:
- http://data1.vizure.net/server/services/osm.xml?, wich views the
details shown currently on openstreetmap.org, but almost impossible
to prnt or export in a numeric map on ArcGIS.
Okay, I do not know much about this service, other than it is low
quality jpeg.
What do you mean by "numeric map"?
I tried to make a map on Leogane area from 300 to 96 dpi and each
time, as print edition as much as a PDF, it failed, with only a
little part on the upper left corner of the image
Okay.
- http://tile2.dbsgeo.com/?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1
which apparently shows only boundaries
This is the service I run. It should show more than boundaries, but
yes the data show does change by zoom level.
I think what is likely happening in ArcMap is that you need to
EXPAND the layer checkbox, and make sure that ALL the sub-layers of
the WMS are turned on.
So, here is an example request:
http://tile2.dbsgeo.com/?layers=__all__&bbox=18.497972,-72.479639,18.572645,-72.247381&height=400&width=600&service=WMS&request=GetMap&version=1.3.0&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/png&styles=&crs=EPSG:4326
Does this look different from what you are getting?
Dane
