Asking a question about marble maps

[Dennis Nienhüser]

Hi all,

we made some good progress with vector tiles in the last weeks/months:
- tile levels 0-9 are basically done now from natural earth data and 
Marble tools.
- the remaining tile levels 11-17 can be created with Marble tools now 
as well. We need some development still to be able to deal with country 
size input files. My plan here is to pre-tile them to level ~9 using 
osmconvert and then feed to Marble tools. Similarly we need some 
development to merge country borders. Both is relatively straightforward 
to implement.
- we can mix file system and MBtile storage on the server now, which is 
needed to store large amounts of tiles.
- we now have two nice servers (a fast one to generate tiles, a second 
one with lots of space to host them)
- speed and styling tweaks are still needed

Given that we didn't finish a substantial portion of vector tile data 
yet to cover most of the world, I just postponed the release by some 
weeks [0]. I hope to find some more time to work on things in the next 
weeks. Any help is welcome of course, as usual #marble in Freenode is 
the place to discuss things.

Regards,
Dennis
