Whoa there!
Chris's message is a good summary of the state of things in December. Certainly
that iteration of OAM is dead. The need remains, and there's a lot of interest
in rearchitecting.
Ideas range from peer to peer tile caching networks, cloud computing imagery
processing, to simple indexes of distributed tile sources integrated in
OpenLayers.
In my view, we need to spec out phases, each one easily doable without huge
resource commitments.
We started a page on the OpenAerialMap wiki to capture ideas, and write out a
spec. Please contribute!
