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

[Mayeul Kauffmann]

Hi,
Your OSMWorkingModel.jpg looks nice.
My alternate proposal was:

Data import:
QGIS with QGIS OSM python plugin (installed with QGIS) or osm2postgresql

Styling:
QGIS GUI

Web rendering:
QGIS server (is in QGIS sources, but I think need to be compiled: not
packaged yet).

Web client: 
QGIS webclient (javascript, is in QGIS sources)
