I'm the leader of this project - and Yes, it's unfortunately not
maintained anymore.

The project evolved over more than 4 student teams ! Then it became
difficult to get funding.

In fact, it's a complex task behind which is not covered by any tool I
know given following challenges:
* turn multipolygons (i.e. ways and relations) to 'real' polygons
(according to OGC standard)
* to map OSM schema to a real GIS schema
* to incrementally update the data into a regional extract

It still works, though! And the SLD files for the GeoServer with the
"Swiss topographic map style" are still useful for further
experimentation.

Yours, Stefan
