I noticed that the instructions need to be completed for Windows

> Hi all,
>
> MapAction have developed a plugin (
> https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/mapexport/) which packages up a jpg, pdf
> and XML metadata file of a defined metadata set into a zip which is passed
> to our Map Catalogue for publishing (https://maps.mapaction.org/). We've
> submitted this to the repository, and Paolo made the useful suggestion that
> we should start a conversation with developers of other plugins which deal
> with printing to see if there is scope for merging. and/or developing a
> plugin with wider scope, hence this email (
> https://github.com/mapaction/mapexport-qgis3/issues/2).
>
> Our plugin borrows heavily from the MapsPrinter plugin (
> https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/MapsPrinter/ for which huge thanks), but
> also adds some metadata creation and editing, with the values stored as
> custom variables at an appropriate level (project, layout) before being
> collected up for export to XML, and are also used to populate a standard
> set of layout templates using expressions.
>
> The functionality replicates a longstanding tool which we've developed for
> Arc, with a goal of enabling QGIS to be used in deployments if required. So
> while the requirements are MapAction-specific, there are elements which
> could have a more generic application - specifically generating outputs for
> a selected layout (which MapsPrinter already largely does), and creating
> and generating editing UIs for custom variables.
>
> Are there any thoughts on how this could be taken forward, and is there any
> interest in doing so? To be honest my limited dev skills are not going to
> be a big asset in this, but I really like the ability to use custom
> variables, and the area where I see most scope for development is the
> ability to specify a set of metadata items in config which could generate
> variables, UI widgets in an editing dialogue, XML output etc, so as to
> allow easy customisation.
>
> Interested to hear reactions/questions on what we've done.
>
> many thanks
