I've been thinking about how to encourage wider development and maintainership of the OGCServer.
If you are not familiar the OGCServer is a pure python implementation of WMS 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 using the Mapnik python bindings. The OGCServer is the only available WMS server for Mapnik that supports both GetCapabilities, GetMap, and GetFeatureInfo. It was originally authored by J.F. Doyon, but in J.F's absence I have taken the role of maintainer over the last few years. However, I think the ogcserver would get more love if kept outside the Mapnik source tree, and so with J.F's blessing I have moved the code to github. This will allow the ogcserver to have its own development cycle and issue tracker, and I encourage anyone interested to get more involved in maintaining or improving the code. The code in Mapnik trunk has not been removed, but rather deprecated, so it will continue to work until being removed in a future release. The new code, available for active development, is here: https://github.com/mapnik/OGCServer This code contains many fixes from Manel Clos and I, based on some work on the ogcserver that was previously hosted on bitbucket.org [1], but this has now all be merged into this new github location. Cheers, Dane [1] http://bitbucket.org/springmeyer/ogcserver/ _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
