GeoServer would not have been my first choice either for this task, as you say lighttpd or nginx serving from a directory would have cut it.
*but* If a provider of imagery is already using a GeoServer for serving imagery in WMS or WCS and wants to register some of those layers in the OAM index and serve them using GeoServer I think that is "interesting", even if that means making a GeoServer plugin to just list the layers selected to be shared in OAM as a usual apache directory view. > The entire design behind that document is to make serving files as simple > and lightweight as possible.

No, if your server is just going to be doing OAM hosting then it's better to use one of the options you mention instead of something as complex as GeoServer. > Why involve GeoServer in that role at all? > If you want manage your data with GeoServer and also expose OGC services, and not only serve as an OAM host. We should have asked that same question when Don presented his plan on this list: http://openaerialmap.org/pipermail/talk_openaerialmap.org/2010-September/000397.html And after meditating about your question I believe GeoServer is not a fit for them in this case. Since it's still early in the process and they are asking for advice in the server setup, what should we recommend them?
