Hi Cameron, > It seems that there are a number of us interested in a Styled Layer > Descriptor (SLD) parser/renderer/editor and as usual, it will be better > if we work on this together rather than in competing projects. > > So I suggest we start by identifying: > Who is interested in this thread. > I am too. > Why you are interested. > I'm on a project at FAO (fao.org) that needs this component. > What you want to achieve. > I have a minimum target on a simple style editor for WMS, where "simple" stays for styling borders and colors of geometries. Soon we will need to add much more interactivity, es: adding standard raster styling (quantile, ...) Naturally having a complete system that can manage WMS and Vector styles would be a dream. We need an "easy to use" interface.
> What platform you need to develop for. > OpenLayers and JS in general is the perfect environment for most of the features we need. Anyway we're thinking at a server component (based on geoServer) to receive feedback about features like min/max values, histograms, geometry types (maybe), ecc to let us refine the user interaction and experience. The only component we have more or less defined is a SLD Storer that use OCG PutStyle and GetStyle to store and retrieve user defined styles, we've only thought at a little trick to extend it. > What are your timeframes. > Minimum target can be in 1-2 month, October for the prototype with a good set of features. No Vector drawing needed for this year. > Where you live and what timezone (so we can organise a meetings). > Italy/Spain GMT+1 I'll be pleased to share the effort. I'm fully available for the UI (JS) and I have support from my team for the server part (based on GeoServer or independent Java stuff). ciao Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
