<pre wrap="">Easiest way is probably to just start a wiki page, and then we can figure
the rest out later. Might eventually be nice to have in svn or some such,
maybe in the udig community svn or something similar. But for now we can
just attach files to a wiki page, so that's probably the best option.

How could we proceed to start having data? Under which procedure? and so
on... I'm not skilled enough with geotools and co to be pro-active on
this...but I can follow the mvt ;) if the process is well defined...

I don't know under which format we would need this stuff, but having
symbols(house, car, ...) and even patterns (like tree , stone, and so
on.., patterns) should be very nice ...
Yeah, I think this would be cool. They would not be pure sld files, but
rather sld files with links to graphics. So to download it and use it you
would get a basic SLD file that specifies the graphic, and the graphic
itself. And you could expand the SLD as you wanted.
Would be cool to somehow combine this with James's idea of having
pre-defined FeatureTypes, as schema files on the web somewhere, that
people could reuse. They could do the same with SLD files and the
graphics.

Hello,
I would suggest another section on the wiki, ie
the symbol database. The purpose should be to
propose ready-to-use (beautiful) symbols in the
styling. These symbols could be used by the
community to build nice interfaces. The symbols
could have their icon (.gif) associated for
building GUI buttons..
Are you ok with this proposal?
regards
What an interesting proposal, as a developer of a UI
application I always like the idea of premade beatutiful
things. There currently exists a legend module that has its
own designs on gylph generation for a symbolizer. The is
sound but I would kind of expect any client application to
want to let end users have load, save control of symbols for
stylings - rather than have this be a programmer thing.
Now we could do it as a programmer thing, have a factory that
makes a Symbolizer and a bunch of jars that you can include
on your classpath that contains a database of the same.
I wonder if the WFS SLD specification has not already done
this work for us: that is defined a file format for a
Stylizers and the like, if the SLD XML file format includes a
legend Gylph then your work is done - you can have a wiki
page where people can upload example SLD docuemnts. Perhaps
this is what you are thinking of?
