[OSM-talk] keepright! goes global

I don't know your laptop but I don't think it would work well.

The North America dump and the Europe dump are equal in size (1.9GB), so 
you can compare the two.
On my PC one run takes four days. That's why there's only one update per 
week.
My machine is a cheap dual core AMD CPU with 6GB of RAM and a RAID0 
built of two new hard disks. Critical components (bottlenecks) are the 
disks. The database as a whole needs 70GB on disk.

And you have to take into account downloading the 1.9GB planet dump once 
a week. Your traffic policy should allow that.

You could just upload the results to my existing site. You need not set 
up your own webspace

There is discussion going on on the mailing list about including 
openstreetbugs into the main OSM site and enabling other services to 
upload their bug reports into that database tables and thus make them 
appear on the main site
