[OSM-talk] OSM Article

2008-03-18 Thread SteveC
Dear Florian Fischer

Thank you for the article on OpenStreetMap - it's great to see us  
mentioned in geoinformatics. Unfortunately there is one small error:

The infrastructure of OpenStreetMap is based on Geoserver (based on  
GeoTools) and many pieces of free software that have been developed by  
OSM enthusiasts. ...

We specifically do not use geoserver or WFS-T.

Best

Steve

 OL is the slippy map on the front page. The rest of it is custom ruby

is helpful.

(The main editors are JOSM [Java] and Potlatch [Flash]; the main  
renderers are Mapnik [C++] and Osmarender [XSLT/SVG]. There are also  
significant MySQL and Apache extensions. Pretty much everything is  
OSM-specific except for Mapnik.)

cheers
