[mapguide-internals] RE: Speaking of removing things...

[Jason Birch]

Actually, I was talking about removing (or at least unselecting by default) the html file that initializes the DWF map layout for the open source installer.

If there is a way to disable the dwf service in the server config, I'd propose that too.

This component will be next-to-useless in anything but tightly-controlled corporate environments as soon as the 2010 Design Review (or whatever) is released without eMap support.  It feels irresponsible to me to encourage users to install it and think of it as a valid choice.

OK, I think I know what my confusion is.  You want to remove the "DWF Viewer" component from the list of components for trac tickets; and you're not talking about our new installer.  If that's the case, I thought about removing that but decided to leave it in until we get rid of the EMapRenderer; I hope to RFC it out soon.

I think just delete it or create a "spike" top level in svn and move it there.

DWF viewer as opposed to the AJAX viewer.

I agree with omitting web studio.  It is still in trunk.  Shall I create an RFC for removing it, or can I just delete it.

I'm not sure what you mean by the DWF Viewer.  We shouldn't be installing it---it can be downloaded from Autodesk.

I guess it would make sense to omit web studio from the installer.  Has it been removed from trunk?

Should we omit the dwf viewer too?  The more people who use this, the higher the pain down the road...
