I brought this up in IRC a few weeks back, and I know its been brought up before that. It's also appeared on the mls before, Richard's response pretty much sums it up.. http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2008-September/011891.html
I'll also note that it was originally announced on the JOSM mailing list here: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/josm-dev/2007-October/000181.html Frederik does make a good point that it could be used for good. I did try ripping apart the source to find the server config, but came to a dead end - it would be useful as a TMS client for JOSM (which I've been desparately looking for to use Richard's NPE tiles with)... 2008/12/24 Nick Black <nickbla...@gmail.com>: > Hi Kenneth, > > Thanks for bringing this up.
