Dear all,The mapmakers using Inkscape / photoshop on wikipedia (WP:GL/M) to 
generate the articles' maps currently work file after file, which generate 
scores of background / data duplication which are increasingly hard to manage. 
Also, we are willing to know : is there any ongoing project/system/extension to 
create a kind of free google maps where we —graphists— may *create and edits* 
encyclopedic maps in the clouds ?

I noticed :* http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/ - display many layers, no edit 
functions.
* http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Map_extensions - don't seems to have 
such extension.* the online editing tool is missing ?

I'm currently talking to my boss about open-sourcing the

background-style used at



http://karriere.thyssenkrupp.com/jobmap/



It has been designed to be used as background-layer for overlays in the

range between z0 and z14 with only very basic information.



It could be used to replace mapnik-bw, which suffers in some points like

contrast in favour of details.

There's another thing we should talk about. Currently we have at max. 8

render threads which is a lot. I'd suggest reducing this to 4, to reduce

load on the db as well as the time required to render a single tile.

You had sent a personal mail (in German) to the involved guys about

how to deploy styles a few months ago.

https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/OpenStreetMap seems like the right

place to put it.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed



FYI:



To solve the performance problems on lower zoom level, I modify

expire.rb a little bit so that we have now no fix MIN_ZOOM value.

Instead the MIN_ZOOM is changing with definable probabilities. [1]

(Expiring works on zoomlevel MIN_ZOOM to MAX_ZOOM).



Low zoom-levels cost us a lot and changes are often not visible.



So edits on OSM leads to expirings on higher zoom-level with a higher

probability than on low levels. Areas with high mapping activities will

re-render more often than death areas.



Z16-18 will expire each time. z10 will only expire with a probability of

1.5%. We can adjust this values each time.



I hope this help us if we restart the updating of the db, where this

script works.



[1]

   random= rand()

   prob=[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.00625,0.0125,0.025,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.4,1,1,1]

#probability for each zoomlevel to expire

   z = 18

   while z > 0

     if random<prob[z]

       mini=z

     end

     z -= 1

   end

   MIN_ZOOM=mini

Hello !



Is it possible to have multiple Layers of Markers in the wikimedia Maps 
extension

using openstreetmap ?



I would like to have a map where the user can enable two different layers of 
Markers.

(working group locations and hospital locations).

I really would like to see changes instantly (as most mappers do),

especially when developing or modifying styles.



I think the long tile expiry holds only for the low zoom tiles,

high zoom tiles are expired instantly, if I'm not mistaken.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed



Hi,



there have been quite some performance tuning measures on ptolemy:



(1) number of render processes has been reduced from 8/6 to 4

(2) Kolossos modified expire.rb to render low zoom tiles with low

probability

(3) indexes have been added to the DB for geometry,hstore and osm-id

(4) clustering



Is there a good way that we can monitor the results? Especially

(1) should be carefully tracked. I can see no significant changes

in IO throughput

http://munin.toolserver.org/OSM/ptolemy/iostat.html or IO

http://munin.toolserver.org/OSM/ptolemy/io_bytes_sd.html

and not even in postgres connections

http://munin.toolserver.org/OSM/ptolemy/postgres_connections_osm_mapnik.html

The load and CPU usage has been decreased a bit. My guess would

be that more processes would result in a better CPU utilization

(and thus faster overall rendering).



To monitor this we need two figures: (a) average tile rendering

time (per process) and (b) tiles rendered per second (by all

processes). Can we set up munin to track it?





BTW:

http://munin.toolserver.org/OSM/ptolemy/tirex_status_queued_requests.html has

not been updated for 13 h now,

how can that happen?



And another question: earlier, two slots have been reserved for

prio 1 queue requests (i.e. missing tiles). Is there a reserve

available currently? Otherwise one would have to wait in that

case.



Kind regards,

Kay

Hi.



Looking at the render queue on ptolemy, I often observe metatiles for

powermap Z9 or Z10 timing out. Powermap is not the only one, bw-mapnik

and bw-noicons is another candidate, too, for other Zoom levels.



Then what happens, the metatile is not rendered, and when the browser

user zooms in and out, the same long rendering resulting in a timeout

happens again. (To me it seems that much of Z9/Z10 for the powermap

just cannot be rendered in germany, but admittedly that's a guess.)



So this is bad in two ways: first, the queue is congested with long

running tasks, second, this happens over and over again. While the

first thing cannot easily be changed, the second, worse, point could

be avoided:



Why not just put a (mostly transparent) metatile saying "timeout" as

the rendering result? So for the style creator it would easily be

trackable what zoom level (or detail) is problematic, and for the

user it would be possible to just issue a manual "/dirty", if the

user thinks it may be worthwhile to try rendering again.



Kind regards,

Kay

This decision has been made to try if offloading the database would

result in less render timeouts.

I don't think tirex allows capturing the tile throughput on a

per-process base, I guess it would need to be modified to allow that.

The whole tirex block has disappeared from the statistics. Munin is not

listing the plugins anymore:



osm@ptolemy:~$ telnet localhost 4949

Trying ::1...

telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused

Trying 127.0.0.1...

Connected to localhost.

replication_delay2 uptime users



This seems like a munin misconfiguration. Sometimes only munin-node

needs to be restarted.

I just reduced the max. number of render processed by two. The

configuration now looks like this:



osm@ptolemy:~$ less tirex/etc/tirex/tirex.conf

#  Buckets for different priorities.

bucket name=missing       minprio=1  maxproc=6 maxload=20

bucket name=dirty         minprio=2  maxproc=4 maxload=8

bucket name=bulk          minprio=10 maxproc=3 maxload=6

bucket name=background    minprio=20 maxproc=3 maxload=4

I'm not sure if I understand your question correct.



If you mean:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps_extension

you should ask the creator Jeroen De Dauw directly.



If you only want to create a map you should check the possibilities of

openlayers.org that we use for a lot of maps with multiple layers.



  Greetings Kolossos

Don't panic, I'm on this list :)

Like Tim pointed out, OpenLayers does support this feature, however, Maps

does not. It'd would not be to hard to implement, but requires coming up

with some way of defining layers in wikitext first.
