Hello, perhaps somebody see or feel that we have now a higher load on Server Ptolemy[1], the reason is that we render and deliver since 2 days the tiles for the small map inside german Geohack[2].
So we want try to reduce the load to openstreetmap.org servers and want to optimize our own rendering process. (In the moment we have a fallback to tiles from openstreetmap.org if we are not able to deliver tiles in 5 secondes.) The later plan is to go live with tools like the OSM-Gadget[3] for every user in the german Wikipedia (Without killing the OSM-Servers!!!). I hope we can do this step in nearly a month. With this experience I think we can than better force the usage of interactive maps directly inside articles.(Extension:Maps) Greetings Kolossos [1]<http://munin.toolserver.org/OSM/ptolemy/index.html> [2]<http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Berlin&language=de¶ms=52.51861_N_13.408055_E_region:DE-BE_type:city%283442194%29> [3]<http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/openlayers/kml-on-ol.php?lang=de¶ms=52.374444444444_N_9.7386111111111_E_region%3ADE-NI_type%3Acity(520966)&zoom=12&lat=52.37444&lon=9.73861> German documentation of OSM-Gadget with screenshots: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/OSM-Gadget _______________________________________________ Maps-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/maps-l
