[OSM-dev] ANNOUNCEMENT: T at H server will go away end of February

[Mike Dupont]

I would like to point out this proposal from agron, a fellow flossk member :
http://www.flossk.org/en/blog/project-proposal-map-tile-distribution-and-master-directory-map-tile-distributors

It shows that tiles are still very interesting for end users. Also the
point is that many people have small geographic needs,
it would be fine to have a small host that only hosts one city if that
server is in a directory
