It might be good to use a Google Maps Static-like model here; the MediaWiki end can just make itself an <img> and stick all the relevant info onto the URL, calling out to the static map server. Having a basic time-based expiration on rendered images is probably fine for our needs (and easy to handle, especially if we let the squids deal with keeping the static images around!) -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
