Since this is my first email to the list, to begin I want to say how amazing I think MapOSMatic is and how thankful I am for the skills and time the developers who created it have given! I have hung out in IRC (as `oeon` typically) and said a couple things in the past - but I felt an email was more appropriate now.
My biggest question is - would it ever be possible for a user to submit their own custom style(sheet) during the job creation process and if so, what format would this need to be? If custom stylesheet upload/submission is not possible - I assume that cloning and setting up the project on one's own server is the alternate route, with the desired changes to the style. What I am wanting to do is render maps for firefighters to display in their stations of their response areas - showing some features that don't appear by default with any of the current styles and making a few other rendering adjustments for visibility. I work for the fire service in a GIS/mapping role. A couple other ideas that have come to mind after creating a few jobs: It would be good to create the bounding box (bbox) of a job by entering corner coordinates - instead of only being able to draw the bbox with the mouse. I found that when I wanted to re-print a job, but with a different style - I could see the bbox corners in the job details, but could not recreate the bbox for a new job by entering those coords, only drawing by mouse. This brings up my 2nd idea - ability to pick a new style and regenerate an existing job. Just a few ideas/observations from a users perspective - not sure if they're possible with the architecture/components. Thank you again! Kindest regards, Joe Larson
