Hi Olivier

Thanks, am well.

Since Martin Spott wrote to the list he will not provide scenery anymore 
I didn’t realise sphere remains the one and only scenery central. The 
work done by Pete and Chris for scenery generarion tools will work for 
every scenery build and any server, so it’s not necessary to centralize 
scenery building on a single server. And terrasync can be pointed to 
every subversion repository anyway.

I made a proposal to de-centralize scenery building with ORGANIZED 
jenkins builds a contemporary way and I want to discuss this approach, 
I’m not interested in discussing historical prerequisites on scenery cray 1.

My server is a very simple developing server not provoding the same data 
(compared to what sphere provides), and it’s not a production server. 
Hey, I'm not doubling data and the "sphere team" is free to use my data 
of course (do you use my cleaned SRTM data now? It’s public for months).

Scenery development is not the only project I follow with my (privately 
funded) infrastructure, so please do not blame me to provide resources 
for the community, even I do not follow the historical world scenery 
approach.
