Dear t...@h mailinglist,

I am a student at the University of Twente, The Netherlands.
Being a member of Studenten Net Twente, I operate some mirrors for open 
source software (we have nl.debian.org and I do gentoo among others).
Currently I am only a mirror for the OSM world file, but I would like to 
see how I can help OSM with the resources available to me.

I am wondering how "heavy" serving tiles is. Is it just a cache of 
pre-calculated tiles, or does it involve a lot of computation for the 
server in question? The server I have available at the moment is highly 
optimized for pushing as much data out as possible (it peaks at 1.5 
GBit, with the PCI bus being the bottle-neck), so computation might be a 
problem. Static content would be great however.

The Wiki doesn't state much about tile serving other than "we need help" :)

best regards,

Roel
