The [EMAIL PROTECTED] server rollout happened yesterday and apart from a few glitches (many of whom have been fixed since), I am quite happy with it, especially performance-wise.
One area that seems to have proofed a bit immature is the automatic lowzoom generation. My simple tools don't reach the quality of the perl lowzoom tool yet. I would like to have your input on how I should proceed: 1) Turn off automatic lowzooms. This is trivial and you will have to upload the lowzoom 'tiles','captionless', and 'caption' tiles just as before, with the only change that a lowzoom tileset spans z6-11. All the existing tools will continue to work. 2) Live with the suboptimal lowzoom stitching until I have fixed up things and found better ways to create nice looking low zoom tiles and to combine them with the caption layer. This could easily take a week or 2. 3) Somebody (not me) modifies the tah client to be able to process lowzoom requests (integrating the existing lowzoom generation tool). The server, knowing which lowzoom tiles need to be updated can then simply issue lowzoom requests. These would be processed by the clients and uploaded as rgular lowzoom tilesets. I actually favor this solution, but don't vote for it, if you aren't prepared to code it :-). Your pick. Feedback appreciated, especially by 80n who knows the current lowzoom generation best, I think. spaetz _______________________________________________ Tilesathome mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tilesathome
