<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div>at FOSS4G Bonn we'll have a bunch of QGis and GeoServer developers</div><div>participating at the code sprint, I would like to leverage the co-precence and propose a "cross-project"</div><div>work idea, that is, to improve the chance that a style exported from QGis can be</div><div>successfully imported and rendered in GeoServer.</div><div><br></div><div>On one side, I have had reports from GeoServer users showing documents that were not valid XML (un-balanced tags) </div><div>or not schema compliant, like CSSProperty values containing a Filter instead of an Expression... I don't know</div><div>if these issues are still present in the latest version of QGis, as you imagine users tend to use a large variety of software versions,</div><div>some of which pretty old, but I see some open ticket in the QGis tracker regarding the SLD export, so there might</div><div>be some work to do there.</div><div><br></div><div>On the other side, GeoServer has a preference for SLD 1.0, and SE 1.1 support definitely needs improvement, </div><div>at the same time and it could learn to use some of the QGis own extensions.</div><div>For example, the other day I've seen on stackexchange a export with a "diamond" WellKnownName that is not part</div><div>of SE, but which would be trivial to add support for in GeoServer.</div><div><br></div><div>There are also other functionalities, like compositing, that are present in both projects, but not in SE, having a way to export</div><div>them would also be good.</div><div><br></div><div>So I'd like to see if there is any QGis developer that would like to work side by side</div><div>with me to bring the two projects a little bit closer in this respect. </div><div>I'll be at the code sprint after the conference, Saturday and Sunday.</div><div>Having someone contributing projects with some complex symbology to test against would</div><div>also be a great way to keep the exercise interesting.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone interested? :-)</div><div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Andrea</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>==</div><div>GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
