I encourage everyone following this thread to respond to carlos's
summary ideas. The applications are due soon and the more feedback he
has the more likely the project with be accepted and in a form that is
both exciting and feasible for the summer.
On Saturday is whercamp and I hope to have a session with Mike
Migurski and Tom Carden to discuss mentorship and progress so far. At
this point I feel very impressed with carlos's awesome research and
the fantastic community brainstorming.
Thanks!
Dane

Good afternoon, how are you?
I was talking yesterday with Mr. Springmeyer about the scope of this
project to determine the main goals and tasks. From the ideas
discussed in this thread, I identify three major groups:
Improvements in resolution, the implementation of a renderer based
on SVG, and the addition of 'adornments' or informative elements
(grids, scale bars, etc.)
Each group has its own level of difficulty. However, I see more
complexity in the implementation of the SVG renderer. I think it
represents a major design task that deserves attention from a more
experienced developer. As I'm new to the project, I think I would do
better if I worked in the other two groups of ideas, which seem to
have very clear and defined boundaries. This would help me become
more familiar with the design and structure of Mapnik and would
allow me to contribute in a better way in the future.
However, I think you'll have a better perspective of the problem, so
I'd love to hear your opinions.
Thanks
Carlos Enrique López Garcés
