Hi all,

ScribeUI has been accepted as a project for the 2015 edition of the Google Summer of Code. This means I will be working on it all summer long.

ScribeUI is a web utility to create and preview mapfiles using either the regular mapfile syntax or the Scribe syntax. Its main objective is making the work of mapfiles developers easier.

You can try it without installing it by going on http://demo.scribeui.org. This page is reset every day to prevent it from going too messy. There is a guide available on the wiki to help you get started here:
https://github.com/mapgears/scribeui/wiki/Getting-started-with-ScribeUI


I have three big objectives for this summer:

1. Improve the error detection of ScribeUI. This means displaying the line numbers of the Scribe files and not the mapfiles when appropriate

2. Add an import/export workspace feature. The buttons are already there but the feature isn't implemented

3. Automatically create classes based on sets of data. This would allow users to make demographics maps very easily for example.

I will also post regular updates on the Scribe blog, here:
http://mapgears.github.io/scribe-blog/


I hope I will be able to make this project more active. If you have any troubles or questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Have a nice day!
Samuel Lapointe
