[talk-pr] Is there a negative consequence of removing POI nodes when a building polygon has been tagged with all relevant information

[JOSE L CUEVAS]

I can try to setup a test-bed infrastructure at the university.  Was thinking of MapServer with titlecache.  I have no experience with none of them but will try to get something started. Any idea of how much space we will need for the WMS data?

It seems common though to draw a building and then put POIs as points within it when there are numerous shops in the same building.
