Come back later.

For most of us it might be a long time until Wiki Loves Monuments. Remember that you can take pictures all year around!

#WikiLovesMonuments

You know you are in the nerdiest possibly company when a team member rushes to bring in ShEx and CSVW options just before the feature freeze.

Hopefully a neat feature for some of our future power users.

View during a fieldwork session the other day.

Okay, got course rendering working, done for the time being!

Lot's of potential side projects here, in particular it would be wonderful if I could port the OCAD and Mapper rendering to WebAssembly.

Final progress update for today, control description kinda working.

When I first thought of this port (years ago), I never imagined that I would approach this by writing a new GUI but instead using some hacky solution for running WPF on Linux.

This has however gone rather smoothly, probably going to finish the basics of viewing events and courses tomorrow and publish it. I do want to tackle editing, printing and all of its features but that's quite an undertaking.

We are getting somewhere, next up control symbols in the control description, then course rendering when switching course.

When that's in place I think we got a very nice application for viewing PurplePen files.

Got controls rendering! Kinda useful already as I can inspect my collection of PurplePen files without starting a VM.
Didn't realize that PurplePen was not only capable of rendering Mapper files but it will try to render them with all of their templates, etc. Kinda explains why using my most complex mapping project with several GBs of raster templates would fail. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
Got zoom and pan working.
