Yes, and once the infrastructure is there it would be easy add new layers like lokalized captions or POI. > >> According to the munin graphs for tah there is almost 4 times as much >> outgoing traffic compared to the incoming traffic.

I guess the easiest is HTTP upload. At least there we somewhat know what we are doing...
