[OSM-dev] OpenStreetmap.org share Dowload option malfunction

[Christian Quest]

I suppose the script is calling mapnik to generate the image.

What is required to run it ?

Is it available on github ?

I'm ok to add it on our server, just hopping it will handle the additionnal
load.

An improvement that could be made on this export feature is to a postpone
it and send a link by email to download the result when it cannot be
generate on the fly.
