[mapserver-dev] ScribeUI on Google Summer of Code 2015

[Daniel Morissette]

Welcome to the list Samuel. I see that you submitted your detailed 
proposal in the GSoC portal and added a suggestion/comment in the portal.

Steve's got some interesting suggestions, we could think of some kind of 
mini-templates shortcuts for this kind of rendering features that can 
easily be pasted into a layer definition. You could keep those ideas on 
the wishlist in case there is time left at the end of the summer.

For the record, I am willing to mentor/co-mentor Samuel's project, I 
have met him and would be able to mentor him face to face over the 
summer which would help ensure a positive outcome of the project.

Daniel
