Re: gEDA-user: web version of gschem/pcb

[Josh Jordan <outerspaceman81@xxxxxxxxx>]

    I am starting to think this should be a separate project that is only
    geda compatible.  The wedana project is starting in the right direction
    it just uses canvas instead of svg.
    Here is a mapping interface in SVG:

    I do geospatial work and began using the above SVG rendering framework
    for new projects.  There is no better way to render vectors in the
    browser with this performance.

    That could be good.  At first I thought you were thinking of going
    towards
    an outline based shape description instead of the centerline and
    thickness
    description of traces.  Using SVG just for the web rendering without
    changing the underlying functions is something that would help my
    customers
    use kit products and add on to them with a zero install UI running on
    my server.
    That would be great.  It might add extra work for maintainers of pcb
    though.
    Do you think it could be done as a plugin that leaves the main code
    development
    as is?
