The basic outline;
- - People seem to love using tile.openstreetmap.org for any of their apps
- - Apps get blocked for various reasons, contributing back is difficult
- - OpenStreetMap wants to be the leading provider of such data
I would propose a small working group to outline what should happen to
facilitate the creation of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) serving
the basic tiles, and allow easy contribution this network. This should
produce a prototype of at least 3 servers.
Questions such as: quality, update frequency, traffic shaping,
geographical balancing and high availability could be part of this
working group.
I would like to invite anyone to participate, especially:
- people that already have their own tileservers running, and/or
are currently balancing traffic;
- business folks: what could be a motivation and what can be a
cutback in for example attribution,
- users of for example openlayers, etc. what kind of caching can
be applied, and if this should be configurable client side
Participation can announced in private or on list.
