Stylesheet

There are many different approaches to configuring rendering of maps in Openstreetmap (generally a different approach is used for each rendering software) :

• Mapnik stylesheet + osm2pgsql stylesheets?
• Osmarender stylesheet and Rules
• Category:Kosmos rules - wiki-based rules for Kosmos
• JOSM Styles used in while data editing in JOSM (unless in 'wireframe' mode)
• Potlatch 2 will uses Halcyon engine with MapCSS stylesheets
• Gosmore stylesheets
• Merkaartor?

You can try out new mapnik style sheets in, the mapnik stylesheet editor, it uses data from the Netherlands. Pretty cool stuff.

What can we learn from the way non-osm systems define map styles? and what compatibility can we provide?

• google maps "StyledMaps" config
• any good Shapefile based style configs to learn from? TODO: link
• a geographic centered color chooser
