Hi Stefan, Unfortunately I got distracted and it has not got any further than a prototype.
The idea is that there is a web front end to allow you to select the map you would like to be produced (map style, paper size, contours, hill shading etc), and any number of renderer computers will look at it to see if there is a request for them. It will then render the map and up load it to the web server. It is quite similar to maposmatic, but the idea is that there are more facilities to customise the map. I gave up on using fancy libraries like codeigniter/bonfire because it was taking too long to learn, so it is a very simple home made php based web front end. The daemon that runs on the renderer computers is written in python and does the data handling (things like creating contours and hill shading). The code is at https://github.com/jones139/disrend. If there is interest in developing this, I could move it up my list of things to do. Regards Graham.
