It is for the wider audience of anyone who wants to develop or operate a 
tile server based on osm data.

I suspect it will be predominantly software development of the tile 
serving and rendering stack (excluding core mapnik issues which are best 
discussed on the mapnik lists), although discussing and exchanging tips 
on necessary hardware resource requirements of a tile server setup also 
sounds like an appropriate topic as well.

Performance issues or tuning tips might be another topic.

Anything really that helps ensure high quality, reliable tile serving 
stacks are available to anyone who wants to set up their own server 
based on OSM data.

We'll have to see how this list best suits people, but it is definitely 
not only for [a-c].tile.osm.org.
