lars ahlzen maintains it. not sure if he's still monitoring this list
closely or not.
I do. It's pretty out of date indeed.
TopOSM was never rendered on-the-fly. It's just a (very large) set of
static tiles (currently hosted by Stamen). To update it I'd have to
either re-render and upload the entire set, or improve it until it can
be rendered in real time. I was working on the latter [1] but never
quite finished it.
There's already the OSM cycle map which has a lot of the same features,
though with a slightly different focus. I guess one advantage of
something like toposm is that it can use higher-resolution data from
sources like USGS, and uses US conventions for things like units,
symbols and other cartographic details.
Would it be would be worth picking it up again?
