[OSM-talk] Trouble in Rangoon [x-post]

[Jon Schlueter]

OSM got hit by a wave of slashdot users, today... and so is a bit slow.

The tile of mapping data could be missing for a couple of reasons...
first the slashdot effect may have it backlogged and stuff timedout
second the tile may not have been regenerated
third (least likely) the data may be missing/corrupt

After the server starts to respond again, we should check to see if
the tile is present and the data present
if the tile is still blank then check to see if the data is still
there using one of the editors, if it's still there then the tile
needs
refreshed, or there was a problem generating the tile.

Either way... need to let the slashdot crowd pass and then check to
see what the status is.
