[OSM-dev] GSoC Project Update (Fast Track Deployment of Customised OSM Tile Server)

[Mayeul Kauffmann]

Hi,
For rendering with very easy customization of advanced styles, have you
looked at the coming qgis 1.7.0?
It allows to define styles with rules based on multiple attributes and
scale levels, and it includes a fastcgi webserver nd a full javascript
web frontend.
Some demo for the backend styling:

Some live demo for server and js frontend:

It would be great to have this packaged in your solution as well!
I wrote several of the steps for this to work here:

I'll be happy to help with this!
Regards,
Mayeul
