need a test file. That's a much better idea than polluting the<br>
database with junk!</blockquote><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>
ok, forget my comment for developers who have a local environment
anyway... <br>but I'm only thinking about the 99% of the OSM contributors
who will never install a renderer but would like to see the best
practices described in the wiki (when they are) in action.<br>
And the database is already polluted by junk, exactly because of lake of guidelines.<br>
<br>
With a separate environment, the problem is the maintenance. Here we
are sure that it would use the latest renderers as they are used by osm.<br>
<br>
When I say 'island', it could be in the middle of a desert as well and tagued as 'test area' or whatever<br>
