Hi Tyler,<br>Very interesting initiative. In order to avoid to duplicate efforts, I think is worth to have a look at this SOC description: <a href="http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Printing+in+GeoServer">http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Printing+in+GeoServer</a><br>
The basic idea is to use the MapFish server print component and to use it in GeoServer. I can totally imagine to go further and to create a print project as you describe it. At Camptocamp, we would be happy to participate at this effort. If you need more information about the MapFish print server, here is some doc: <a href="http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/PrintModuleDoc">http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/PrintModuleDoc</a> and a nice demo: <a href="http://demo.mapfish.org/mapfishsample/trunk/examples/print/simple.html">http://demo.mapfish.org/mapfishsample/trunk/examples/print/simple.html</a><br>

Hi everyone,<br>
I've registered as a mentor and am particularly interested in<br>
overseeing the OSGeo Cartographic Library project.[1] My link id is<br>
"tmitchell".<br>
<br>
This project is an excellent opportunity to fill an important gap in<br>
some OSGeo (and other) projects - providing high quality cartographic<br>
printing options. While many applications can do some basic printing,<br>
it is not so common to be able to produce high resolution (e.g. 300+<br>
DPI) in print-friendly formats (e.g. postscript, PDF, HPGL, etc.).<br>
This project will help identify a print configuration specification<br>
and a few tools for processing them into print-ready output.<br>
<br>
More as time goes on...<br>
