<br>
We deliberately held back on the publication of too many map symbols - for now.<br>
<br>
There was a Gsoc (Google summer of code project) by Arunmozhi this year that worked on a central symbol repository (django webapp) and a QGIS integration which will help people to exchange styles and SVG symbols. See <a href="http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/17/Google_Summer_of_Code_2013" target="_blank">http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/17/<u></u>Google_Summer_of_Code_2013</a><br>
<br>
Too many (SVG) symbols pre-installed slow down QGIS considerably. So I'd rather prefer having fewer symbols pre-installed. If there was a way to browse symbols online easily and then just pull the symbols that one actually needs that would be wonderful.<br>
<br>
I don't know the current status of the GsoC project. It seems to have done fairly well but I do not see that integrated in qgis master currently. Anyone knows? Is the django based website publically available?<br>
<br>
I see that there is an "import from URL" method in the GUI of the style manager - but wich URL? Is there already a central repository?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I'm new to QGIS and am incredibly impressed. I like seeing all the<br>
discussion of new releases and improvements. I see that Nyall is<br>
working on improving the print composer. As a guy who basically makes<br>
maps for a living, this is huge. Since so much of our final products<br>
in GIS are maps, having software that allows more functionality for<br>
quality map design is extremely important. It can be the single reason<br>
people chose one software package over another. For many years ESRI's<br>
ArcMap has had a leg up on open source GIS software because it has<br>
such a nice print/map "composer" (the Layout in ArcMap) but I believe<br>
this can change from what I see happening in QGIS. Multiple<br>
insets/data frames would be very nice. Also, I was surprised at how<br>
few preloaded line and polygon symbols there are. Just a handful. No<br>
railroad symbol? Would be really, really, good to have more of these<br>
available. Map designers love this kind of stuff.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much,<br>
