Jason,
Thank you for the explanation. I certainly understand your point concerning production code. Obviously, my intent is to help other as so many others in the open source community have helped me. Yes, I have seen the activity over the last year grow tremendously ... kudos to you and all involved. I would be glad to share my entire "Scribble" application(simple, easy markup and output - .NET and ajax) if there was a method for such a thing. I think many of you would see much of your code sprinkled throughout and I know that is a "nice" thing to see. Let me know your decision. Chris/Martin, Let's give Jason an opportunity to set something up. If he, for whatever reason, cannot ... we will "noodle" something out ... dennis ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Birch Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 3:19 PM To: MapGuide Users Mail List Subject: RE: [mapguide-users] Printing Hi Dennis, Sharing the code is awesome, it's just not likely that it would make it into the production code stream without either being cross-platform or having equivalent functionality under the other supported languages. There has been some thought given to setting up a "community" area to facilitate code sharing, but I haven't heard anything about it recently. In absence of that, I'll have to see whether we can set up some kind of "code samples" area on the Trac wiki where you could write up a quick explanation and then attach a zipfile with the code. This community is incredibly active, but I think we need to understand that the MapGuide Open Source project is not run by anyone but the community. Yes, Autodesk still does the majority of the coding (though we are seeing more activity from others recently), but it's a true open source project and its strength is going to be measured by the willingness of its users to get involved in testing, development, documentation and, in general, innovations like what you have done with PDF output.

I really do not wish to get them upset :-) Maybe they don't mind a snippet at a time ....????
