Yes, I do. However, note that Mapnik is not a server by itself - its C++
library for map rendering and few other things. So, at present, Mapnik is
used a default map rendering backend by OSM Scout Server. When compared to
usual Mapnik usage - PostGIS + apache2 - there are differences:

* The data is read from SQLite databases that are stored on device together
with few shapefiles. This required to make few import scripts and
adaptation//development mapnik styles

*  Server API is exposed via libmicrohttpd

But as a result, it works quite well on SFOS devices.
