It needs an online *demo*, so that the community can feel it before > installing it. > > 2. It needs to be *easier to install*. At the end of last summer, > ScribeUI had a very tedious installation procedure. It’s gotten better > since then, but there is still some work to be done. > > 3. ScribeUI needs to be more *stable*. It still has a lot of bugs, which > are very unappealing. > > > ** Conclusion* > > Feel free to ask any questions about the project. This summer is about > getting ScribeUI to be a stable, pleasant, productivity enhancing > experience for Mapserver users. That is why suggestions and opinions are > highly valuable! > > > Important links: > > ScribeUI website: > http://scribeui.org > > ScribeUI Demo: > http://demo.scribeui.org/ > > ScribeUI repository: > https://github.com/mapgears/scribeui > > [1] http://scribeui.org/scribe-syntax.html > [2] http://flask.pocoo.org/ > [3] http://www.pylonsproject.org/ > > > Thanks a lot, > Jessica Lapointe > > > _______________________________________________ > mapserver-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users > -- --- .~. / v \ // \\ /( )\ ^`~'^
