[OSM-talk] Brainstorm: What could they be used for [was: WMF will donate 35 servers...]

[Peter Körner]

 > Dual CPU 2.5 GHz AMD
 > 3-4GB RAM Each
 > Most have 80 GB or larger HDD

I don't know if that's enough for rendering. If it is we could set up 
some other styles on the page (car view with just streets and car 
related things, transportation map, free time map with all those 
leisure, a map with all the POIs that tagwatch lists)

This map must not be updated as often as the mapnik/tah map but it could 
show what cool maps could be made with the data, despite of a 
google-like map.

It may also possible to use them as caches in front of tiles.osm.org to 
hold the maps up in maintainance phases for other pages using our tiles.

Please drop your ideas!
