Hi Brent. Thanks for wanting to contribute to t at h. Of course I will be happy to give you an upload account for t at h tiles. However, just as a note, at the moment local renderers don't seem to be in shortage, usually tile requests are handed out the second they are requested. On the other hand it doesn't hurt to have too much renderers of which some will sit idle. So if it's too much of a hassle, you don't need to bother with setting up a client right now. Let me know (or OJW who is the main t at h guy) if you still want an upload account.

Sure we are always interested in improvements, but t at h is just like it's architecture a very distributed project :-). If it's improvements to the t at h renderer client, deelkar would be the guy to speak to. I can't say whether he prefers to have a look at all changes first or whether commiting them is fine. I am responsible for dev in general, making sure that it hums along nicely and OJW is the guy to talk to when t comes to the t at h server (although I am pretty familiar with the server code by now as well, and could take patches for that as well, I guess).

Sure, feel free to fire questions our way, just make sure you write down our onswers in the wiki, so we only have to answer once :-).
