[OSGeo-Discuss] is TileCache alive ?

[Chris Holmes]

GeoWebCache supports some basic statistics, see like
http://maps.opengeo.org:9090/geowebcache/home

Better statistics should move forward as we just got a monitoring framework
in GeoServer, see http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Monitoring  We'll start
with also monitoring GWC requests, and it shouldn't be too hard to also port
that to standalone.  Should be able to cluster that as well, to gather stats
in to one database.

I think we've done some work distributing tiles over redundant servers, but
didn't build anything specific in GWC for it.  Would be interested to hear
on that list or add to the roadmap exactly how you'd like that to work.

The other recent GWC work has been to be more transaction aware, using Etags
to keep clients more up to date, and subscribing to GeoRSS feeds or direct
to GeoServer transactions.  Oh, and Gabriel also recently added LFU and LRU
caching, so you can just set your max cache size and GWC will delete the
least frequently used if it hits that limit.  Hrm, looks like both of those
need more documentation though.

But I think both TileCache, GeoWebCache and others are open to going to the
next level of tile management, just need contributors or funders.
