<p>As you may know, the plan is to produce a UK specific OSM
mapping site. A start on this has been made here:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.free-map.org.uk/osmuk/"
class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk929155" previewremoved="true"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.free-map.org.uk/osmuk/</a></p>

<p>using a fork of SomeoneElse (Andy)'s cartography with one
very minor tweak so far, namely footpaths and bridleways are
rendered in a style similar to Landranger maps. </p>

Glad to be of service :)<br>
<br>
There are a couple of other tweaks you'd probably want to do:<br>
<br>
o One is to reinstate cycleways as "a thing". In order to free up a
colour to use for public bridleways I used blue for that and just
rendered cycleways like other paths (coloured according to
designation, dashed for wide and dotted for narrow). Green's a
problem because so much on an OSM map is different shades of
grreen. That's fine for me (I'm not a cyclist) but something a bit
more inclusive would probably include cycleways. Not sure what
colour you'd want to go for though - if you want to go more for
OS-style colours you'd have a lot less colour on the map than most
OSM-based ones (styles designed as an "underlay" like Mapbox Streets
aside).<br>
<br>
o Another is railways - I'm guessing you'd want to remove the
rendering of dismantled railways, and also possibly abandoned ones,
but I'd suggest keeping proposed ones so that people can see where
HS2 is going(!) (as an example,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=15&lat=53.11419&lon=-1.31171">https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=15&lat=53.11419&lon=-1.31171</a>
shows all three types).<br>
<br>
o If you want to do "Welsh Language first in Wales" as described in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/42069">http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/42069</a> I can make
the load scripts available for that. It's pretty much what's in the
diary entry but is a runnable script.<br>

<p>In terms of server space, we did have a server available to
us for development purposes (provided by Birmingham in Real
Time) however this will be unavailable for a month or two;
however our contact there is going to recommend some cheap
hosting options.</p>

For info, the map.atownsend.org.uk site (which covers the UK and
Ireland) currently fits nicely on a 4Gb memory / 100Gb SSD disk
server at Hetzner; at <£15 per month you could probably
short-term fund it with a whip-round in a pub. I'm sure that the
other competing options - OVH et al - are similar; for the size of
server I wanted for the UK Hetzner made sense for me at the
beginning of the year; slightly larger or smaller on any spec
parameter and something else might have been better.<br>
