Si aprono oggi le votazioni per la Proposed Feature leisure=dog_park, che appoggio pienamente e a cui ho contribuito disegnando personalmente l'icona, già renderizzata su osmarender. Si spera in futuro anche su Mapnik. Un grazie in anticipo a chi voterà a favore e appoggierà la feature, usandola.

Mi associo alla richiesta di Alberto, GeoWebCache sembra essere la soluzione ma non ho assolutamente capito come si usino i gridset (che penso siano fondamentali per gestire la conversione da Roma1 a WGS84) In realtà devo corregermi: GeoWebCache fa solo da cache tra un fornitore di dati e i
