[OSM-talk] Application idea - "OSMSiteMaker"

[Nick Whitelegg]

Was thinking that it might be an idea to develop an application to allow 
people to set up their own local OSM-based sites for very local areas e.g. 
20x20 miles - in the UK, that could include, for example, the New Forest, the 
Lake District or Manchester. I was thinking of the scenario where people 
might not want to set up/be able to set up (due to their hosting) a full 
PostGIS database, but could instead run a Mapnik-based site off shapefiles - 
which, if I remember from tests, is efficient enough for a small area.

Does this sound a good idea?
