The only layer which uses OSMF resources is the layer labeled "Standard", also known as osm.org mapnik. Given that others[1] are successfully providing a wide variety of layers, it doesn't seem like devoting OSMF resources to another worldwide non-debug layer is necessary. > So assuming: we can host them on the US OSM servers, the servers can > handle it, and the map quality is good, etc, etc. Would there be any > problem adding the following map layers to osm.org? I don't think these concerns should impact if it goes on osm.org, but a world-wide tile layer can take substantial resources, and is this what local chapter wants to be doing?
