Thank you Artem! It is great to hear the suggestions to get this project going. Carlos and I still have a lot of homework to do regarding the Mapnik and OSM projects but it has been an exciting week nevertheless. There is a great body of knowlege already within the Mapnik and OSM communities so we appreciate it when you point us to ideas like this.
