this on github as soon as it is more or less complete. Have you contacted the kothic-js developer about your patch? Would be cool if we get this upstream. Regards Philipp On Fri, 2011-12-30 at 11:33 +, Nick Whitelegg wrote: Hi, Over Christmas I've been knocking together a demo which uses kothic-js

Hi, I'd like to reproject the whole of the England OSM file into BNG (EPSG:27700). It appears there is an experimental GDAL driver for OSM, or alternatively I could code a simple utility to do it using Osmium and proj.4, but, to save time, is there a pre-existing tool to do this very job? I

I can give you access to postgres, and you will then be able to create databases for yourself (though if you need postgis in them you'll have to ask me to add that). Obviously if you use too much resource then we may ask you to cut back. Keep in mind though that the dev server is intended for
