Re: [Rails-devel] Question about the tile creation process

[brett l. <bre...@gm...>]

I suspect that doc is outdated.

The TileDesigner process should work for historical tiles that it already
knows about. But I don't think it'll be useful for generating new tiles.
(The maintainer of TileDesigner isn't updating it any longer, IIRC.)

I believe someone (Martin?) came up with a new process. The mailing list
archives may shed some light on it, if you search around.

Alternatively, there's always the option of revamping that area of the
project entirely. I suspect there's a better way to handle it. :-)
