Future

Wishlist

See also the talk-ch list thread

• News Ticker including RSS Feed about News from and regarding Switzerland.
• Keep display of (Swiss) Slippy Map or have a layout showing sections about OSM (like http://osmtools.de/portal/ )
• Render a "Swiss Style" Map with minutely updated data
• Working address search via url (something like map.search.ch)
• Print OSM map like in http://sitn.ne.ch/ can be create by Stéphane on a dedicated server?

• Layers
  • Hiking-Layer
  • Contour and hillshade already tested by Stéphane, ex: [1] ?
  • I could add a ski layer Yves

Hardware Resources

• Or I can provide a KVM Virtual Machine with way enough CPU Power and around 10GB RAM almost surely. osm.xiala.net ist currently running there. The problem is diskspeed if we really want to render Swiss Style Tiles, as the disks are used for other Projects too and are just 7200rpm SATA. It is possible to attach a storage system to the server. But that would cost some money. --Beni 19:53, 16 June 2011 (BST)

  I never done some test but I think that for the database an SSD disk can be a good solution. Stéphane 08:56, 6 July 2011 (BST)

• An alternate solution can be a DediBox. Stéphane 21:14, 3 July 2011 (BST)
