Hi Michael,<div>I am just having a go at getting your Tile Data Server working (I think it is 'cover' from <a href="https://github.com/mdaines/cover">https://github.com/mdaines/cover</a>? - your GSoC wiki page does not link to the repository though!).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, I do not speak Ruby, so am struggling a bit.......</div><div>First script/render complained about not being able to find 'rubygems', then there seem to be a lot of dependency issues.</div>
<div><br>Do you have a list of the dependencies written down somewhere please? I'll go and work out how to install them, but it would be useful if you could include a simple 'getting started' set of instructions.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div><br>Graham.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 17 August 2012 20:07, Michael Daines <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michael@mdaines.com" target="_blank">michael@mdaines.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
An example data tile server covering the British Isles is now online:<br>

<br>
The library I have been working on is rendering tiles as a Tirex backend using OpenStreetMap data. The map is drawn using Kothic JS over top of image tiles rendered with Mapnik which show land polygons (basically the contents of the layer-shapefiles.xml.inc file in OSM's Mapnik stylesheet).<br>
<br>
Here is an example data tile:<br>

<br>
The data in the tileset is defined by this configuration file which uses a DSL that works sort of like CSS selectors:<br>
