[Server-devel] Anish's major OSM accomplishments: will city search still work?

[Adam Holt]

Anish has made incredible OpenStreetMap progress building fresh new tiles,
with Braddock's help (and hardware) over recent weeks, taking advantage of
the 2 years of improvement the world has added to http://openstreetmap.org

We have not made the jump to Jerome's new offline map architecture yet (
http://jeromegagnonvoyer.wordpress.com) but perhaps that can happen in 2016.

Meantime, without pre-empting Anish announcing this in due course, a couple
questions on how this might be used in different educational settings:

   - Will city searching require generating a new index?
   - Or can we use the original (quite fast and quite sufficient!) IIAB
   city search in the interim, alongside the new tiles, starting almost
   immediately?
   - PS if/when we are forced to re-generate the geographic search index,
   can 200+ stock countries/continents be included alongside cities this time?

PS those who want to assist the rapidly advancing work please hop on
