Lausanne Sprint Notes

March 3rd

Discussion about Deliverable 1 items

• Animation - Functionally complete. Need to have some discussion about animating the view or otherwise allowing multiple maps to share animated state.
• Kinetic Panning - Complete. Potentially some discussion needed on having other interactions stop animation.
• DOM Renderer Refactoring - Complete. This could be made to work in non CSS3 environments. Look into reverting to old rescaling logic.
• View Extraction - Complete. Some discussion on usability needed (have map act as user convenience layer?).
• Tile Queue - Complete. Confirm tile events are properly handled.
• WMTS - Source in progress. Capabilities parsing complete. Source needs to be configured with parsed caps structure.
• Single Image WMS - Complete. Issue with empty strings (e.g. {style: ''}).
• Vector Architecture - Discussion on merging.
• Arg Parser / Permalink - Put together a state provider instead. Serialization to URL done at application level.
• Attribution Control - Complete. Some work for vector layer.
• Mouse Position - Complete.
• Mouse/Touch Navigation - Mouse handling complete. Touch enhancements need review/merging. Ongoing work on mousewheel handling.
• Zoom Slider - Make sure we can work with other widget frameworks first (right events and interaction w/ view).
• Scale Line - Additional work needed calculate point resolution for all projections. Nearly ready for review/merge.
• Zoom Control - Complete. Check double-click handling.
• Zoom to Max Extent - Allow user to position arbitrary element. Discuss providing convenient collections with different alignment (e.g. top-left horizontal, bottom-right horizontal).
• Data Source / Layer Architecture - Complete. Review tile source v. image source.
• Aggregate Layer - Need to review requirements and existing art.

Usability Discussion

• Improve dev/build story for application developers.
• Provide ol event registration API. Perhaps entirely homegrown event system.
• Map as convenience layer (needs more discussion).
• Code samples in API docs.
• Document constructor options.
• Experiment with @export and alt doc tags to simplify exports/externs generation

March 5th

• Tim
• Worked on restructuring the shared vertex arrays.
• Will work on an example showing a more complex style configuration.
• Bart
• Worked on KML. Finished style parsing.
• Worked on the write part of the KML format.
• Andreas
