Well, on IRC yesterday:

<kos_tom> d2: concerning the date that we should print on the map to indicate 
the date of the data used to generate the map
<kos_tom> d2: should we just print the date of the day (assumming we are really 
updating the data every day)
<kos_tom> or should the data update process write to some text file at the end 
of the update, and this file is used by ocitysmap to print the rendering date.
<d2> instead of what ?
<d2> KISS
<kos_tom> anyway, since the update process is not atomic, it's not possible to 
give a very accurate date/hour of the data.
<d2> yes. one more reason to follow the KISS rules

But that can still be discussed :-)
