No direct flight from here for me, but it's around 5 hours to Riga with one stop (250€). Means almost spending one day to get there and another to come back, but it's not bad. Not better than most places, I guess. Not having Tim in the hackfest is bad news, though :-( 2012/11/13 Marco

Is there a reason you want to do custom drawing of symbols and not use something like a line marker symbol with it set for each vertex? There is also this http://www.qgis.org/pyqgis-cookbook/vector.html#index-13but I would advice to use the mark line symbol first. - Nathan On Tue, Nov 13, 2012

2012-11-13 Thread Victor Olaya
Hi all I am thinking about removing the SEXTANTE help menu and the button on top of the toolbox that takes you to the process provider documentation (that is, how to configure external algorithms) They both refer to html pages which are now in the manual, so, although it is handy and I guess it

Hi Yes I have seen it. With no disrespect to the GRASS folks I think it has enough problems that I would not like to copy it on our site. My (hopefully) constructive criticisms: * its very busy * it doesnt have good whitespace balance e.g. module of the day box with screenshots box floating to

Sadly, I must agree with Tim. Sadly because I know the effort made by the GRASS team to have the new site out, but I cannot object Tim's points... giovanni PS: @Tim, I wasn't aware of the ongoing work to switch to a boostrap based sphinx theme. What are you using for it? 2012/11/13 Tim Sutton

Given what the prior website looked like, it is a vast improvement. Nonetheless, I think Tim's points are spot on, especially regarding balancing white space, use of green, and the drop-down/tab disconnect (the tabs themselves look disconnected to me, and the grey shade for the active tab makes

Greetings, Speaking of website improvement, I've just dropped in a proposal for a refined - and more importantly _vector-based_ - QGIS logo here: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/6688 I've tried to stick to the original logo as much as possible as clearly many people are emotionally attached to the
