Hi Brent, Thanks for your support. I have noticed however, that a few guys started to understand why they get only requests, and almost no contributions to the code.
The gap between them and the rest Is getting too large. Of course, we can only be grateful for the immense efforts they spent. But someone needs to close the gap between us. I want to suggest to divert a bit from creating [EMAIL PROTECTED] code to updating the community by mail and wiki. As Martijn says, the code is not that difficult, but at the lower and of the stairs I (me) cannot see the end, and that's a bad sign. OJW (you have a name too I suppose), thanks for your elaborated explanation of the main program. Now for starting to read the actual code (for me) can some of you explain in short the meaning of the files being created in the misc. stages of conversion, in such a way that I can recognize them, and correlate the code to the resulting files. I recognize 6 stages Downloading a OSM file (becomes an encoded tilename.osm file) Conversion to SVG, apparently needed for inkscape ? creates a SVG file for every zoom level Conversion to png creates a lot of tiles in a suitable directory (tilenumber?) An optimizing stage (found no file trace of it ) Compression stage (any of the available zip programs results in a zip file in the upload dir) And an upload stage (renames the compressed file to uploaded) There must also be a housekeeping task, cleaning it all. Could you put a name to each process, and a link to the code where it happens ???? (upload.pl I found already...) Thanks for confirming, correcting, and explaining the above, Gert -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Brent Easton Verzonden: dinsdag 3 juni 2008 0:28 Aan: Gert Gremmen CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Re: [Tilesathome] Proposal: New [EMAIL PROTECTED] Server structure Hey Gert, >Thanks Sebastian, > >You lost a [EMAIL PROTECTED] contributor and renderer.
