The offer I had been posting would run on the same infrastructure as:

  http://mapserver.flightgear.org/

So, yes, PostGIS/MapServer/TileCache would be included, but I suspect I
won't do the website design - I presume you'd like to have a nicer page
than the mentioned one  :-)

Well, at least in general, if a tool to import the NZ data is readily
available/built, I don't see why such thing should not run on demand.
Let's talk about that after the license issue is ruled out and we know,
how the data 'looks like'.

JohnG, do you feel the desire to host this on your hardware as well ?

I'll leave this to someone else,
