07:00:50 Testbaudson: so far, I'm positive we will get some got results
07:01:11 kmq: yes, me too :- )
07:01:13 Testbaudson: we are focussing on a few admin interfaces
07:01:23 Testbaudson: ajaxify them
07:01:34 Testbaudson: and use jquery for better usability
07:01:40 Testbaudson: and a web 2.0 flair
07:01:58 kmq: well and generally make them easier to use
07:02:00 : * seven is interested in joining the man / machine interface design
07:02:26 seven: The job will be to implement an admin interface that even ur will use. :- )
07:02:27 kmq: seven: I am open to ideas
07:02:37 Testbaudson: Karim will present a draft for a few interfaces in the next weeks
07:02:38 nazgul: will the interfaces for the csw client be coming from kmq as well?
07:02:50 seven: Ideally yes.
07:02:53 Testbaudson: nazgul: it would be good to see some synergy
07:03:03 Testbaudson: maybe you can talk to each other
07:03:09 nazgul: say, should i draw up some prototypes and put it up on the wiki....
07:03:10 nazgul: ok
07:03:11 Testbaudson: and teach each other
07:03:27 marcm: do you overwork the wfs configuration too?
07:04:19 Testbaudson: marcm: I guess we are building a prototype first
07:04:35 Testbaudson: I don't expect we get to the complex interfaces
07:04:46 marcm: ok
07:05:27 Testbaudson: marcm: but if you have ideas, please share them on the dev list
07:05:49 Testbaudson: we will rebuild the WFS monster later this year
07:06:38 Testbaudson: so if anybody has any input for kmq, please write a mail to the dev list
07:07:42 Testbaudson: the official start of GSoC is May 23rd, so we have almost two weeks left to discuss
07:07:51 Testbaudson: about CSW:
07:08:06 Testbaudson: we hope to have another meeting at the end of the week
07:08:17 Testbaudson: we will post the resume at dev
07:08:42 Testbaudson: nazgul: if you have any questions, please let us know
07:09:32 nazgul: is it ok if i post some screenshots i found from csw implementations in esri products and geonetwork on the csw page on the wiki?
07:09:51 nazgul: so that we can get some ideas from them? or isn't that a good idea..?
07:10:04 Testbaudson: i think it's a good idea
07:10:12 ur: +1
07:10:14 : * seven thinks that should be ok although we must be careful with copyrights, etc.
07:10:30 : * seven will check what you do and comment if necessary.
07:10:31 Testbaudson: please feel free to create as much sub-pages as you want
07:10:36 seven: Yes.
07:10:39 astroidex: +1
07:11:40 Testbaudson: ok to move on to the next topic?
07:11:46 nazgul: seven: understood. will check on copyrights before putting images
07:13:04 seven: Move to next topic...
07:13:05 Testbaudson: ( 2 ) features for 2.7
07:13:47 Testbaudson: we are developing a lot of new functionality at the moment...
07:14:06 Testbaudson: we should discuss what to fit into Mapbender 2.7
07:14:21 Testbaudson: I'm thinking about printing
07:14:29 mandsch: me too :- )
07:14:42 astroidex: ; )
07:14:52 Testbaudson: mandsch: we should discuss how to merge the print modules
07:14:56 mandsch: yep.
07:15:13 mandsch: I'm currently a littel bit distracted with other stuff ...
07:15:20 astroidex: shall we suggest in trac what functionality to take to 2.7?
07:15:27 mandsch: but hope to be back in the next week to developping
07:15:49 Testbaudson: I suggest we do this in a seperate meeting...
07:15:54 mandsch: +1
07:15:57 astroidex: I mean crate a report with the 2.7 developements
07:16:04 Testbaudson: so just pm me next week when your schedule is not so tight
07:16:09 astroidex: separat meeting +1
07:16:14 mandsch: Testbaudson: ok.
07:16:32 Testbaudson: astroidex: please feel free to create a new report
07:16:43 astroidex: I am doing it already
07:16:56 Testbaudson: for now, I use the roadmap
07:17:04 Testbaudson: but a seperate report is justified
07:17:24 Testbaudson: we should be a little more strict with quality this time
07:17:30 astroidex: what date release date did we define?
07:17:41 Testbaudson: September 1st
07:17:47 Testbaudson: for rc1
07:18:45 Testbaudson: it would be nice to check the dependencies of all modules before 2.7
07:18:52 mandsch: do we already have a festure freeze date, too?
07:18:54 Testbaudson: and have an API
07:19:00 Testbaudson: and a complete module documentation
07:19:10 Testbaudson: mandsch: no
07:19:30 Testbaudson: something like two weeks before rc1
07:19:38 Testbaudson: as a rule of thumb
07:20:34 mandsch: ok
07:20:42 Testbaudson: we also have to talk to Peter Freimuth about his "restricted extent" enhancement
07:20:48 Testbaudson: it would be nice to have it in 2.7
07:20:55 : * Testbaudson will contact him
07:21:21 astroidex: I create a report: see also Roadmap http://www.mapbender.org/Roadmap_2009
07:21:23 sigq: Title: Roadmap 2009 - MapbenderWiki ( at www.mapbender.org )
07:22:33 Testbaudson: it would be great to include GSoC results in 2.7
07:22:52 astroidex: yes
07:23:13 Testbaudson: we should keep it in mind during GSoC
07:23:38 Testbaudson: any input on Mapbender 2.7
07:23:48 Testbaudson: ?
07:24:25 astroidex: when is feature freeze ?
07:24:35 Testbaudson: August 15th
07:24:39 astroidex: ok
07:24:42 verena: what about the gazetteerWFS with the Geoportal-RLP functionality?
07:24:51 verena: WFS Editor
07:24:55 marcm: the slippy map seems great
07:24:55 Testbaudson: verena: good point
07:25:07 Testbaudson: verena: please create a trac enhancement ticket
07:25:13 Testbaudson: with milestone 2.7
07:25:30 verena: ok,I willdo that.
07:25:33 verena: will do
07:25:34 Testbaudson: marcm: we still need funding...it's not finished :-(
07:25:47 Testbaudson: hopefully we can add it
07:25:47 marcm: :-(
07:26:02 mandsch: Have you had any luck with opacity printing?
07:26:19 Testbaudson: ur? astroidex?
07:26:45 mandsch: I saw that the rotation module will need phpimagick ...
07:26:57 astroidex: astroidex - no
07:26:57 mandsch: does this have additional functionality?
07:27:18 ur: mandsch: yes
07:27:23 astroidex: I created a report Milestones 3.0: http://www.mapbender.org/Roadmap_2009
07:27:24 sigq: Title: Roadmap 2009 - MapbenderWiki ( at www.mapbender.org )
07:27:40 astroidex: we have to look, which tickets we can take to 2.7
07:27:54 ur: mandsch: there was a problem with the gd functionality
07:28:17 ur: mandsch: on debian / ubuntu
07:29:36 ur: mandsch: rotate was available only in bundled gd libraries
07:29:51 mandsch: argh ...
07:30:08 ur: yes
07:30:19 Testbaudson: ur: how about opacity printing? did we find a solution?
07:30:33 ur: yes
07:30:49 mandsch: great.
07:30:57 ur: phpimagick
07:31:06 ur: :-(
07:32:34 mandsch: ok, but at least we have a way to do it ...
07:33:11 Testbaudson: any more input on Mapbender 2.7?
07:34:06 astroidex: I will generate a link in th eversion history too http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Version_History
07:34:07 sigq: Title: Version History - MapbenderWiki ( at www.mapbender.org )
07:34:45 Testbaudson: astroidex: thanks
07:35:03 Testbaudson: ( 3 ) 2.6 release schedule
07:35:55 Testbaudson: 33 open tickets
07:36:02 Testbaudson: we should examine what blockers we have
07:36:28 Testbaudson: the current priorization is not really helpful
07:36:33 Testbaudson: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapbender/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=2.6+release
07:36:34 sigq: Title: Custom Query - Mapbender - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
07:36:56 Testbaudson: anyone? which blockers do you see?
07:37:42 astroidex: just a moment
07:38:42 astroidex: I would say there are a lot blockers
07:39:01 astroidex: the functionality from 2.5 should still work in 2.6
07:39:35 astroidex: copyright, scalebar, print
07:40:09 Testbaudson: if there are problems with any of these modules, we should have a ticket
07:40:18 Testbaudson: is there a ticket?
07:40:19 astroidex: but I think some of the bugs are cause by the new architecture overveiw and mapframe1 without iframe
07:40:23 : * Testbaudson searches...
07:40:28 astroidex: yes
07:40:40 astroidex: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapbender/ticket/430
07:40:41 sigq: Title: #430 ( scalebar is not displayed ) - Mapbender - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )

07:40:54 sigq: Title: #412 ( Copyright transfer to OSGeo ) - Mapbender - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
07:41:01 astroidex: print http://trac.osgeo.org/mapbender/ticket/429
07:41:02 sigq: Title: #429 ( Print - new font LiberationSans-Regular causes error ) - Mapbender - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
07:41:29 Testbaudson: ok, I raised the priorities
07:41:35 Testbaudson: thanks for letting us know
07:41:38 astroidex: I should not be too much work to fix this misbehavoir
07:42:16 Testbaudson: I don't think we have a date for 2.6 yet
07:42:19 Testbaudson: or do we?
07:42:24 Testbaudson: before Bolsena?
07:42:42 astroidex: we said before bolsena once
07:42:50 astroidex: this would be great
07:43:32 astroidex: who coudl help to fix the tickets
07:44:02 Testbaudson: I have changed the dates in the roadmap
07:44:06 Testbaudson: for 2.6 and 2.7
07:44:06 marcm: me
07:44:14 astroidex: coool ; )
07:44:26 mandsch: I can also look into some of them ...
07:44:41 marcm: of those i know i have to do
07:45:09 marcm: i mean: of those i know i what have to do
07:45:20 Testbaudson: just grab a ticket you think you can fix
07:45:20 mandsch: what about: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapbender/ticket/460
07:45:22 sigq: Title: #460 ( area calculation isn't correct ) - Mapbender - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
07:45:43 mandsch: has anything changed or was it never correct?
07:45:48 astroidex: 460 - is wrong because of EPSG 4326
07:46:09 Testbaudson: nevertheless, a proper message for the user is needed
07:46:10 astroidex: ist only works with metric epsg
07:46:13 mandsch: ok ... no sweat then ...
07:46:18 astroidex: in gui2 epsg 4326 is choosed
07:46:33 astroidex: it works fin e in gui1
07:46:53 : * seven grumbles that we shoudl simply fix the module once and for all...
07:47:14 astroidex: good idea - we have postgis and could do the calculation
07:49:38 Testbaudson: ok...so let's try to narrow down the bug list for 2.6
07:49:44 Testbaudson: and have the release in June
07:49:48 astroidex: ok
07:49:58 astroidex: everyone has a look at the tickets
07:50:32 mandsch: what about the installation process ...?
07:50:41 Testbaudson: mandsch: good point
07:50:45 mandsch: is install.sh working correctly?
07:50:53 Testbaudson: at least on my machine :- )
07:51:12 marcm: my test's worked too
07:51:16 mandsch: i tried it also and it went smooth
07:51:34 Testbaudson: I fear I won't have time for the update routine...
07:51:36 mandsch: but i had some strange errors later in the guis. ...
07:51:44 Testbaudson: I think this is something for Bolsena
07:53:11 marcm: wouldn't it be nicer to create a php installation script?
07:53:18 Testbaudson: marcm: yes
07:53:29 mandsch: I'd have one additional topic ... just a short question, when we are finished with the last topic.
07:53:43 Testbaudson: install.sh is just a quick hack for testing the installation before the release
07:54:03 Testbaudson: I think we don't have time for topic 4...
07:54:09 Testbaudson: please mandsch, ask your question
07:54:17 mandsch: uh, ok...
07:54:33 mandsch: has anyone thought about making mapbender a FGS application ?
07:54:45 mandsch: FGS is the ms4w equivalent for linux ..
07:54:59 : * Testbaudson has never heard of it
07:55:02 mandsch: http://www.maptools.org/fgs/
07:55:03 sigq: Title: FGS.MapTools.org ( at www.maptools.org )
07:55:30 mandsch: I am not sure which one was first ms4w or fgs
07:55:53 mandsch: it is propably not so known, since most of us do everything by hand on linux ...
07:56:19 mandsch: but i tried it in hte last weeks, and it is as nice and smooth as ms4w
07:56:57 mandsch: If there are no objections I'll create a wiki page
07:57:22 Testbaudson: please go ahead!
07:57:29 Testbaudson: thanks for letting us know
07:57:55 astroidex: I added mapbender to ms4w
07:58:12 astroidex: we could exchange about the experiences
07:58:30 mandsch: yep
07:58:44 astroidex: http://maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html
07:58:45 sigq: Title: MS4W.MapTools.org ( at maptools.org )
