Nicely done, Simone! We are still dealing out on how to use this thru editors which do not make use of WMS access to imagery. Will potlatch or mapzen get WMS anytime soon? Meanwhile, everybody is more than welcome to retrace on this new imagery for italy. Some places are 2008 imagery, and some 2006. Very well georeferenced btw. -- -S ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Potlatch 1 will never have WMS support. Spherical Mercator is sufficiently hardwired into the code that supporting arbitrary WMS projections would be pretty much impossible. If the WMS server supported spherical Mercator I guess it'd be possible but it's not something I'm planning to do. Potlatch 2 is a bit more projection-indepedent so could be made to support WMS in due course. It's not a priority for me because all the cool imagery is already in 900913 tiles. But http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/potlatch2/ awaits your contributions! IIRC there was some software released recently that will reproject nasty WMS to lovely 900913 tiles on the fly - sorry, can't remember the name but Im sure someone here will. You could perhaps set this up on the dev server or similar. That'd be the fastest way of getting it into Potlatch. The imagery sounds very cool. cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Hi, Richard Fairhurst wrote: IIRC there was some software released recently that will reproject nasty WMS to lovely 900913 tiles on the fly - sorry, can't remember the name but I’m sure someone here will. The one that was recently released and that you perhaps think of is called MapProxy and does the reverse - it makes WMS from tiles (mapproxy.org). WMS-to-tiles is the simpler operation and can for example be done with an UMN mapserver. Also, Tirex has a WMS backend so you can set up a caching tile server that draws its data from a WMS quite easily. The standard Tirex installation comes with a demo WMS setup already, you'd basically only have to change the URL.

2010/5/26 Jimena Martínez jimena.marti...@sinfogeo.com: Good news! http://www.mundogeo.com.br/noticias-diarias.php?id_noticia=17177lang_id=2 My fault not to have informed you any time sooner. I did contact the ministry deputy in october and worked thru the various steps in order to get approval for this. Somewhere on this page there is the link to the actual authorization letter addressed at me which allows use of the wms for osm retracing. we might still need a way to use it thru potlatch.
