Hi David and hi to the dev list. First of all I would like to thank all the community for letting me participate with GSoC! I'll do my best for a successful achievement of my goals. Thank you David for your observation. Actually, my application will leave all the rendering phase to the client and can load a local OSM file, so if the user wants an SVG file, it can be obtained without touching the server at all. I think there could be however some issues with: a) Requests of OSM data to the server. I've already considered osmxapi, but there would be some GUI tricks to let the user download the whole data needed only when her/his rules file is already set up. A feature I thought of (you can see it in my demo/screencast), is about letting a user customise its map even to the single street name... obviously more users, and more precision => more data requested to server. b) Requests of SVG->* image conversion. As before, I'll let the user asking this conversion only at the very ending of rules set up. However if a user wants the conversion with an existent rules file there's not much I can do about it. I've tried but couldn't find any "all-javascript" SVG->binary conversion at this point.. it's a crazy solution, but if I find it, why not :D However I'll follow this thread for any other solution about it. I'm not enough into this kind of internals to do any useful observation.. I'll study more in the future :) Bye Mario _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
