00:01:38 Testbaudson: hi spsneo
00:03:04 Testbaudson: just name it "update routine"
00:03:19 Testbaudson: we can change it afterwards anyway if we change our mind
00:03:49 Testbaudson: let me know if you need help
00:04:03 spsneo: Testbaudson: no its ok
00:04:10 spsneo: I will create the page
00:04:13 spsneo: any template?
00:06:30 spsneo: or any example page like that
00:06:41 spsneo: so that I can easily structure that wiki page
00:11:02 Testbaudson: do you know MediaWiki syntax?
00:12:08 Testbaudson: No need for a template just use == and === to describe chapters
00:12:31 spsneo: Testbaudson: ok
23:38:32 mandsch: Good morning ;- )
23:38:48 mandsch: Testbaudson: should we vote on your motion - i wasn-ät sure?
23:39:12 Testbaudson: yes
23:39:17 Testbaudson: thanks for your vote
23:39:36 mandsch: i just seconded and haven't voted - yet ;- )
23:39:45 Testbaudson: uh..ok
23:39:51 mandsch: but now!
23:40:12 Testbaudson: ;- )
23:45:29 mandsch: verena: I will go looking at the printPDF with fpdf lib stuff after my holidays... did you investigate this stuff a little bit?
23:46:20 verena: Hi mandsch
23:46:26 mandsch: hi verena
23:46:54 verena: I used it in a project so I could get a little deeper into it.
23:47:45 verena: Unfortunately I didn't find the time yet to create a demo version for Mapbender.
23:47:56 mandsch: ok, that sounds good
23:48:04 verena: But I think it could really be interesting.
23:48:13 mandsch: i used it also in a php project but not with mapbender
23:48:28 mandsch: but i think it could be easily ported
23:49:08 mandsch: the main benefit that i see, is the usage of templates
23:49:29 verena: it could really be nice to create some print templates and fill them with the print elements like map, scalebar, legend...
23:49:42 mandsch: thus it would be easy that each gui or even user can have its own.
23:49:58 mandsch: yep, exactly
23:50:05 verena: so it would be much easier for the user to have his own print template,
23:50:48 mandsch: i'm just wondering, if there are free / os tools to create such template pdfs?
23:51:16 mandsch: well one coudl easily use openoffice
23:52:02 verena: yes, I thought about that, too.
23:52:51 mandsch: fi you still have minute, i'd really liek to share or discuss a potential approach?
23:52:53 verena: should not be the problem to create a simple template in OpenOffice as PDF and configure in a print conf file how all elements of print should be arranged.
23:54:11 verena: give me 5 minutes, then I will be back here. have to discuss something with a collegue.
23:54:22 mandsch: ok, cu
