You're most welcome to do that, as in #osm-nl we have talked about regionalised rendering as well, in the past. I've rolled one small aspect of this out on our walking routes map, which renders different shields for The Netherlands and Belgium. I did copy our country boundary polygons to another table, because if for some reason the country boundary in OSM is non-closed, the whole regionalised rendering would fall over. My thoughts are that the import process should sort out the hard part of this: comparing of features against a polygon, and stamping them with a field we can filter on in mapnik. Either by running some sql at the end of the import (but should also work for diffs and changed polygons), or by doing this itself. What were the other issues you had thought up? -- Lennard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
