<font size="-1">Hi All, I'm a bit confused. I am new to OSM. I have
just installed the rails port of OSM and have also installed
"nominatim" (as per wiki instruction), including </font><br>
"osm2pgsql"<br>
<br>
Should I not install NOMINATIM?<br>
<br>
Instead of "gazetteer" us "namefinder" ?<br>

We don't (at least I don't, and I doubt Marble has) have "a server". OSMF
do.
Just put a big red sticker on the wiki saying "ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE OUR WEB
SERVICES, SETUP YOUR OWN!", then...

Lets calm down a little. :-)
There are 3 reasons why I called for the short notice of shutdown:
1) gazetteer's data hasn't been updated for over 2 years. Internally
it has been considered to be deprecated. Likely we should have
announced this earlier. Oh well.
2) When I checked the usage recently it was extremely low. I wasn't
aware Marble used gazetteer. Marble does not provide a User-Agent when
querying gazetteer. If it had, I would have been less eager.
3) We have other services that are waiting for hardware.
Mistakes have been made... now lets move on.
I'm going to have a hack at creating a namefinder/gazetteer ->
nominatim bridge script.
Regards
Grant
