 comment OpenLayers request tiles out of range
@Jesse, can you elaborate on "lon lat point is not the same point on the map"? I'm the author of Maperitive, BTW.

 comment How to export objects from wikimapia to openstreetmap?
There is no "accepting" as such, there are no data import moderators in OSM. Whatever you add to OSM will automatically be a part of its database. Regardless of whether you used aerial imagery or not, the license of Wikimapia applies to all of its data the same. If the license is not compatible with OSM's, then such an import into OSM is not legal. So before asking the technical side of things, make sure this is allowed.

 comment Maperitive: howto add a new rule-set
That's correct. There's no special folder for rules, you can load them from anywhere. You can also simply drag&drop the rules file into Maperitive.

 comment What kind of AWS configuration is needed for running a low-to-medium bandwidth Web map app?
Thanks for your in-depth answer. You pointed to some issues I haven't considered (like EC2's IP change). A lot of options to choose from. Right now I'm not looking for a lot of cloud-CPU power, since I will only be hosting pre-rendered tiles (so no PostGIS etc). But storage capacity, bandwidth (and speed) is important.

thanks for the hint. WebFaction's prices do look inviting. Too bad they don't offer more information about the apps they offer. How hard was installing PostGIS and MapServer on it, BTW?

 comment Generating tiles for osm/esri shapefiles
@robi actually, Maperitive supports shapefiles through its Python API. But I wouldn't say it's a "simple way", since I haven't written docs for it yet ;)

 comment What kind of AWS configuration is needed for running a low-to-medium bandwidth Web map app?
thanks for your answer. I agree pre-rendering is not ideal, but on-demand rendering requires a lot more cloud app resources, which are quite expensive, too. In a pre-rendering scenario the server only has to fetch tiles from a MBTiles (sqlite) storage and serve them, so you need a lot less CPU, disk storage, and no real RDBMS. And if you limit the highest zoom level to something manageable, there's not that many tiles to upload. BTW I've updated my question a bit.

@Mapperz thanks for the link. Their setup is a bit more ambitious, with tile rendering pipeline running entirely on the AWS, so this (I imagine) could be quite expensive. But one revelation is MapProxy, since it supports MBTiles.
