Has anyone any experience with Win MapNik?
I haven't tried the Windows binary, but I can heartily recommend mapnik in general for raster-production (osmarender is the only option if you want an svg output for further manipulation). If you need any help then try either the mapnik-users or OSM dev mailing lists, but you might find osmarender easier to get started with. > So there is a Forum - don't know how I missed it.
