[mapserver-users] Fwd: Tools for automatically generate mapfiles

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Luis,

For your information we (Mapgears) have worked internally on a web-based 
GUI to edit and maintain mapfiles called ScribeUI. This tool allows 
editing mapfiles in three different syntax:
  - regular/raw mapfile syntax
  - basemaps generate_style.py syntax 
(https://github.com/mapserver/basemaps)
  - and Scribe syntax 
(http://www.mapgears.com/en/blog/archive/2013-03-12-scribe)

Unfortunately it is still an internal tool and needs some work before we 
can publish it. However, a student has submitted a Google Summer of Code 
(GSoC) proposal to take this internal project, polish and finish it, 
test and package it and make it available as an open source component to 
the MapServer community.

The GSoC proposals are currently being evaluated, and the final decision 
date is May 27. If the project is selected the you can expect some news 
on this list about the plans in early June. The goal is to make this a 
collaborative project in order to help make it more sustainable in the 
long run, so contributors such as you would be much welcome.

Best Regards

Daniel
