Hi Parveen, I like this idea - getting the toolchain(s) working is quite tedious, and is a significant learning curve for new users. I think that you need to develop your idea into a proposal (pretty quickly - I do not think there is much time left for GSoC applications? you need to check the time table!). A few comments from me on your idea:
- You need to be clear what it is that you are proposing to build 'OSM Server' can mean a few different things from an API server to use for your own version of OSM, or I think you might mean a map rendering tile server? - I think an easy set up for a map rendering system would be good. It would be really nice if on my ubuntu system I could type "sudo apt-get install osm_mapnik2_tileserver" and it sets up the database etc. - Which operating systems would this work on? A linux variant like ubuntu would be the easiest, but it is also the easiest system to get it working on manually. I think people really struggle with Windows installations (but I have no experience of trying to install the toolsets on windows). - I would recommend using the operating system's package management system to avoid writing too much yourself, but there should be a fair amount of coding required to set up all of the right installation paths for the various tools etc. As to whether this exists already or not, I have not found it, but someone did once say there was a 'liveCD' for some of this, which may have some of what you are proposing if you can find it.
