Re: [Wikitech-l] How Google specifies image licenses
Aryeh Gregor wrote: There have been proposals to allow more specific license metadata to be supported by HTML 5, but they've been rejected in the past. I'd have to review the discussions to recall exactly why the above wasn't viewed as a good enough use-case. Note that although Ian initially rejected to do so, finally he added support for licensing sections. See 5.4.4.1 http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#examples-1 That removes most of the complexity of determining the main content of the page. It may also be interesting to take into account the different 6.12.3.9. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
[Wikitech-l] Maps and Semantic Maps 0.3 released
Hey, Both the 0.3 version for Maps [0] and Semantic Maps [1] have been released. This new release features a lot of new features (esp. in Maps), under the hood improvements and some bug fixes. You can find the list of changes on the extensions version history pages [2, 3]. The documentation of both extensions has also been given a big overhaul, and should now be more comprehensive and complete. You are recommended to upgrade as soon as possible. This also applies for people still using Semantic Google Maps, Google Geocoder or Semantic Layers, which have been replaced by Maps and Semantic Maps.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Batik SVG-to-PNG server revisited

Nonetheless, it is clear that batikd is not ready to use but needs to be worked on. I'm not sure where the notion came up that median performance was a useful criteria for selecting a rendering engine. I'd expect that the criteria would be something like this: 0. security comfort (i.e. ability to deny local file access, strength against overflow exploits) 1. worst case memory usage vs average 2. worst case cpu consumption vs average 3. Least surprising rendered output 4. average cpu consumption Batik probably wins on 0, Inkscape wins on 3 (being bug compatible with something the user can operate at home is arguably superior to being correct), rsvg wins on 1,2,4 (and maybe daemonized batik is getting close on 4). Sometimes the CPU comparisons can be a bit hard... a rendering engine which doesn't support SVG filters (i.e. old rsvg) will likely be faster, but it will be producing unexpected output. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
