Tim Schaub and i got a chance to talk after I had had a couple drinks last night, but not too many to remember some of what we were talkin about:
* Wrapping the world sucks. If the concern is about the ability to fill in empty gaps in map space, 'wrapping the world' is a bit more simplistic, because we can just wrap tiles in a special WMS-like layer. See Tim's comment to http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/487 for example of why wrapping vectors over the dateline sucks. * The WFS Format accepts params (options, layer). This was my stupitidty. I was thinking I wanted to maintain API compatibility with the subclass, but that doesn't actually make any sense, since layer is required, and options isn't. He owuld like to see this change. If we were to change this, I think it would be possible to write a small snippet of code to swap the two if the one has a CLASS_NAME, so it shouldn't actually be a non-backwards compatible change. * Hm. I'm forgetting. I know there was at least one other thing... oh, clipping of SVG features. Tim thinks that perhaps doing some ratio stuff will help us out. I'm looking forward to his suggestions in this regard. (Goddamn maxPixel) I'm sure Tim will let me know what I've missed. Where 2.0 Conference is still ongoing: lots of user interest in OpenLayers, and two people actually told me last night that I was the best presentation they saw all day, so I'm pretty happy. (I presented on OpenLayers, for those of you who haven't been paying attention ;)) Regards, -- Christopher Schmidt MetaCarta _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
