I might also give tilecache a try. Ideally I'd want a tile server with a small memory footprint that would accept taxon IDs in the URL and return tiles containing points for that taxon. Not entirely sure how easy that is to do yet. There's also the problem that showing these kinds of points on a map make people want to click on them (people like me, for instance).

I guess this opens many many new possibilities. Aggressive caching might make this very scalable - and I guess tiletile has it's own caching strategies. Looking forward for this on iNaturalist! Udi Very very very nice!
