Quite. Can someone please come up with names for the two "main" styles that aren't just the technology that creates them? s/osmarender/ti...@home/ would be a start (osmarender is 'just' the technology currently used in generating the t...@h map), and as you say, the other three are all generated using mapnik (maybe postgis/mapnik for the gnu/linux tards amongst us?) so having "mapnik" is a bit weird, and I'm sure causes half the problems on the mapnik MLs where people are actually talking about the main OSM rendering and not the mapnik library itself. Suggestions on a postcard? Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
