[postgis-users] Request for ideas to enhance the geometry viewer - GSoC

[Paolo Cavallini]

Are you sure you want to reimplement what a GIS does already? Doing proper, powerful styling it's a really big task.
Sorry to jump in like this, I'm a strong advocate of open source tools also because you can reuse what is available, avoiding duplication of efforts.
Cheers.
