[mapguide-users] Printing

[Chris Tallman]

I think it's a great idea to have a place for people to be able add
their code that may not make it into the production code but that could
help out others get a project moving.
 
Thanks all.
 
Chris

Jason,

 

Thank you for the explanation. I certainly understand your point
concerning production code. Obviously, my intent is to help other as so
many others in the open source community have helped me. 

 

Yes, I have seen the activity over the last year grow tremendously ...
kudos to you and all involved.

 

I would be glad to share my entire "Scribble" application(simple, easy
markup and output  - .NET and ajax)  if there was a method for such a
thing. I think many of you would see much of your code sprinkled
throughout and I know that is a "nice" thing to see.

 

Let me know your decision. 

 

Chris/Martin,

Let's give Jason an opportunity to set something up. If he, for whatever
reason, cannot ... we will "noodle" something out ...

Hi Dennis,

 

Sharing the code is awesome, it's just not likely that it would make it
into the production code stream without either being cross-platform or
having equivalent functionality under the other supported languages.

 

There has been some thought given to setting up a "community" area to
facilitate code sharing, but I haven't heard anything about it recently.
In absence of that, I'll have to see whether we can set up some kind of
"code samples" area on the Trac wiki where you could write up a quick
explanation and then attach a zipfile with the code.

 

This community is incredibly active, but I think we need to understand
that the MapGuide Open Source project is not run by anyone but the
community.  Yes, Autodesk still does the majority of the coding (though
we are seeing more activity from others recently), but it's a true open
source project and its strength is going to be measured by the
willingness of its users to get involved in testing, development,
documentation and, in general, innovations like what you have done with
PDF output.

 

Jason

I have gotten the impression from reading other pages on OSGeo that this
forum does not like submissions, of code, that do not meet their
requirements for portability etc, etc. So I am hesitant to provide more.
I really do not wish to get them upset :-)  Maybe they don't mind a
snippet at a time ....????
