When your background data don't change

I am watching the MapTiler project closely now. I once started to look into the GDAL2Tiles utility to scratch an itch I had for making simple online maps from data data would not change with any real frequency (never -> semi-annually). The itch went away so I stopped playing around, but it was a reasonable option at the time.

Now that the project has a GUI and someone providing care and feeding, I also have had the itch return. So, I might get a chance to run with this ball after all.

I am really enjoying watching the OSgeo ecosphere mature as the standards of WMS, TMS, GeoJSON, GeoRSS, KML, etc seep into the industry. It is just getting ridiculously easy to integrate stuff in basic ways.
