[Opensim-dev] [SIMIAN MAPTILE] - generalize to a core function?

[Jeroen van Veen]

Couldn't this just be a part of the webfrontend that's being used? There are 
currently php and python implementations of the maptile generator, which can 
be used with wi-redux, hwios or another web-ui. Maybe it would be nice to have 
an api call to get a list of current active regions, so the maptiler doesnt 
necessarily need db-access?

greetings,

Jeroen
