Having finished the documentation of the installation and configuration of the Jumpstart Mapping server, the focus will be shifted towards deployment and customizing the interfaces.
Currently, the primary goal is to write a script to back up the map data by dumping the planet.osm file, dumping the data base, and reimporting the updated planet.osm back into the system. There are various views that are used by Mapnik that need to be reset each time the database is updated. Then it will update the mod_tile configs to point to the right location and render the map data.
Once this is accomplished, the rails port, mainly the frontend for the map server, will be customized to allow for different features to be added to the map server.
