[Openstreetmap] money and what to do about it

[Tyler Mitchell]

Thought I might chime in from the other side of the world.  I'm pumped about 
your project!  It's a thrill to see you working on it.

You are planning to put this up on a web map right?  If so, use MapServer and 
then you can use the PDF output option.  I think Chameleon comes with a 
widget for doing this already in the PRINT output tool.  Therefore, people 
can select their layers and the extent they want.  And I know you could batch 
it up with some MapScript to mass produce maps as well.

Have you consider serving up Ikonos using WMS?  It's not really data transfer 
since you aren't downloading source data (if you used WCS it would be source 
I'm sure).  Am I wrong to think Space Imaging wouldn't want you to have it 
available as a web service?
