[OpenLayers-Dev] Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G CodeSprint are you ready?

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Although I am not there unfortunately, I would love to see OpenLayers 
support an optional map mode which has arbitrary scales/resolutions, so 
no predefined scales/resolutions. What the user defines in his zoombox, 
he will zoom to.

I know this can be done outside of the library with a few hacks 
probably, but it would be so much better if it would be part of the 
OpenLayers core IMHO, especially for supporting traditional GIS 
applications. We do hear a lot of users asking for this.

Best regards,
Bart
