You don't need to stop your renderers, it's still a tileserver with current tiles for Applications that need to download large quantities of tiles without putting that load on the osm.org tileserver. It's just that Spaetz, and to some extent I, have other stuff that we do, and Osmarender/Tiles@Home does run well without much work from our side. That means, that the Tiles@Home project will phase out itself, when we finally don't have any time for it anymore and something major breaks. That is, unless someone from the community steps up and takes things over. The problems with that would be A) the server was granted to spaetz, and not the Tiles@Home Project, so whoever takes over server maintenance has to find another server. B) the client software is quite complex, and anyone taking over that would have a steep learning curve, but I am willing to help with that, as I am the one dev that kept at it from nearly the beginning until now, so I'm in a good position to explain why things are done the way they are. So, we will not actively start to shut everything down, but let it run until something comes up that requires too much effort to fix. I would assume the remaining lifetime of Tiles@Home can be measured in years rather than weeks. Happy rendering. -- Dirk-Lüder "Deelkar" Kreie Bremen - 53.0901°N 8.7868°E
