Toasting a successful sprint

Fixes and Improvements

This is a quick list of things we started work on or achieved during the sprint:

(please add anything I missed - dane)

  • Forward compatibility of .7.x series a priority (springmeyer)
  • Lots of work on new prototype for documentation (dodobas) #288
  • Moved Cascadenik to github and refactored lots of code, merging in XML-bad branch (migurski, rcoup, ninow) (http://github.com/mapnik/Cascadenik)
  • Came up with lots of new ideas and pushed they into tickets against Sprint Milestone
  • Many sprinters installed Mapnik2 - we updated docs with lessons learned (springmeyer)
