I suppose something is indexing redmine again - yesterday googlebot and baidu visited simultaniously, but I'm not sure that was the actually issue... struggling for computing time .. and then apache and mysql are jumping in to complete the field ;) probably time to move some processes on different machines?

[Qgis-developer] QGIS Community Meeting feedback for Essen, October 2012
Dear QGIS Community, based on the wiki entries I added a website with a few notes on our recent hackfest / community meeting in Essen from 3-7 October: http://www.qgis.org/en/developer-meetings/essen-102012.html If others have posted similar articles about their experiences or pics it would be great to add a link to this page. I already added a few. The QGIS Porject just wanted to say publically a very big THANK YOU to our sponsors and to everyone who donates to the QGIS project - your funding allows us to hold these meetings which really help the project to keep its momentum! Looking forward to the next one! http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/9_QGIS_Developer_Meeting_in_Valmiera_2013 Regards Otto ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

This HF is over - only three Italians stranded in Essen, waiting for their flights back. I personally want to deeply thank Horst, Otto, and all those who helped organize this very successful event. The location is simply ideal, no waste of time, maximum concentration on coding and discussing (OK, apart from the bad influence of IT Crowd, damned), a beautiful and quiet place, a friendly atmosphere, and efficient infrastructure. In my personal opinion, Villa Vogelsang is the best place we've ever had, and I would suggest coming back here more or less regularly (e.g. we could have one itinerant HF per year, and another one here). Another thing I'd like is to make it easier for people from other continents to participate (we are too Eurocentric at the moment), without incurring in too high flight costs. Perhaps we could have simultaneous HFs in each continent, and be constantly connected in audio and video? Thanks again to all for contributing to this success, that marks another step in the history of QGIS. ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Re: [Qgis-developer] SVG symbols in QGIS with modifiable colors
Hi Andreas, I tried the optimized SVG output from inkscape - looks better, but still I can only change fill color, or stroke. But fill seems to overwrite stroke and I never was able to define stroke-width. Do you have a more complex example, where I could try to figure out what's wrong with my tree.svg definition? Regards Otto Am Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:09:14 +0200 schrieb Andreas Neumann a.neum...@carto.net: Hi Otto, Have you tried using presentation attributes only instead of the style attribute that mixes everything? It may be that QGIS only looks into the fill, stroke and stroke-width attributes and not in the style attribute. The way Inkscape exports SVG is a bit of a mess. It also exports way too many style attributes (where there are defaults that you could omit) with unnecessary repeats (over and over again). A manual SVG code would easily be 1/4 of the size that Inkscape generates. But there is an option to output an optimized or optimiertes SVG file where you can choose to use Stil nach XML (Style to XML).

With Openlayers and ArcGIS there is no problem. When I use QGIS Server or mapserver 6, I can also visualize data in EPSG 31466 and EPSG 31467 in QGIS.

Hi, I was just talking to Astrid Emde and Lars Lingner. They have experience using rst in the Mapserver and OSGeo-Live project and they are satisfied with that for the documentation. I will get more information about their method the next days. From the OSGeo Live project I know that they use OmegaT (a desktop tool) for the translations in combination with subversion. Haven't seen anything about git supporty yet, will check more, but the tool works quite well, I tested it. As soon as I know more about the tool chain (sphinx, svn, ...) they use for their project documentation, I write it to the list and we can decide, if that's, what we want to use for the documentation. For GUI translations of .ts files, pootle might be a good solution. At least we could test it again.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Re: [Qgis-community-team] Fwd: [Live-demo] Translation tools - Pootle
Hi, here is another experience from the method of the mapserver documentation translation, also see: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/DocumentationTranslation It doesn't seem to be perfect, but still better than our current solution, I guess ;). Am Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:23:45 +0100 schrieb Lars Lingner l...@lingner.eu: Unfortunately the translation is not that user friendly. You checkout the files, if necessary create a directory lang for a new language, or you work on an already existing folder. The document is divided into several rst files. Each lang directory only contains the translated files. A Makefile is then used to build the documentation, and if nothing is translated, there is a fallback to the English files/version. The setup is also adapted to the MapServer web server. If you translate offline, the links to the other language don't work. You see, it is not optimal. Additionally, you can not obtain a quick overview, where translations are missing, unless you read the document ... : / Anyway, I don't know about any other/better setup that would simplify the work of translators. Regards Otto Am Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:19:02 +0100 schrieb Otto Dassau das...@gbd-consult.de: Hi, I was just talking to Astrid Emde and Lars Lingner. They have experience using rst in the Mapserver and OSGeo-Live project and they are satisfied with that for the documentation. I will get more information about their method the next days. From the OSGeo Live project I know that they use OmegaT (a desktop tool) for the translations in combination with subversion. Haven't seen anything about git supporty yet, will check more, but the tool works quite well, I tested it. As soon as I know more about the tool chain (sphinx, svn, ...) they use for their project documentation, I write it to the list and we can decide, if that's, what we want to use for the documentation. For GUI translations of .ts files, pootle might be a good solution. At least we could test it again.

Re: [Qgis-developer] proposal for migrating QGIS documentation to reST/Sphinx
Hi, we started to work on a solution for the documentation and we decided to migrate the docs from latex to rst - but this has not happened yet. At this point we have the docs in git and we plan to start using the online tools provided by github to work on the englisch manual (latex) for the next release. For the future we will convert the latex sources to rst and we are still open and thinking about an optimal solution for the translation process. Help and ideas is always welcome. That's what I can say for the manual/documentation. I remember I had a look at Sphinx some time ago. I liked it but haven't seen a solution for the manual translations with it - maybe that has changed. I guess, Werner can say more about the GUI and its translation.

There is some convert tools, but it will still be much work to migrate all styles or if that is not possible, to create a new nice looking manual. The speed depends on the number of people working on it. At the moment we don't have too many people writing or working on the documentation, that's why I think it will take a little longer.

Ultimately I would like to discard joomla and use our Django infrastructure to do the content management. Then we would really only be managing two web infrastructures: redmine and django. But that is something for the future. - Regarding the forums I would alos like to get rid of it but have also come across people in Real Life who have found them (and Anita, forum Queen :-) ) to be extremely helpful in getting started. I would suggest to make the forums read only with a big banner asking them to post to stack exchange rather as an interum solution. Also the fine folks from the Russian FOSSGIS community (Maxim et al) have offered to maintain the forums for us if needed.

Migrating forum and wiki would reduce logins by one or two (depending whether the user has an OpenID login). According to the docs, Joomla also supports LDAP logins (http://docs.joomla.org/LDAP), so OSGEO logins could used there, too. Anything simpler is better.

[Qgis-developer] different english and german GUI shortcuts
Hi, when I compare the english and the german GUI in version 1.6, all shortcuts are different. For example using the english gui a klick on CTRL-Q closes QGIS. Starting with the german GUI the same is done with a klick on Q. Why is this? And can we make a decision what kind of shortcuts to use? Or maybe is this already changed again in trunk?

May be this approach also can be used for manual translation? Sorry, I was unclear: I think linguist works well for GUI translation; my suggestion was for manual, where finding new string to be translated is a major part of the job, that discourages most volunteers. All the best. For GUI translation Werner and Volker will try to find out during the hackfest, if it is useful to provide an online translation for the GUI besides using linguist. The manual writing and updating with latex seems to be more complex, and therefore it becomes more and more difficult to find and encourage people to contribute and translate. I think we need to find a solution for that, too and maybe it could be a plugin or we switch to something new. AFAIK projects such as Mepserver, Geoserver or OSGeo Live use Sphinx. Don't know if that would work well, especially when we want to translate the files.

An html version of the latex manual is on my ToDo-list but it isn't as simple as I expected. A latex version without any figures can be compiled easily if needed. Html / website user manual promotes / offers visibility of the project as well for example uDig has friendly manuals. Aside from it, it is harder to read pdf manual when the manual has more than 10 pages. The embedded pdf bookmarks are a killer feature, that and being able to drop a pdf on a usb key with the certitude that my technicians will be able to open it. Probably we should consider Wiki Book /Wiki for QGIS, so users can contribute as well. The QGIS plugins need documentation.
