Why?

Coding, documentation and fun. The previous Mapnik code sprint in September 2010 was both great fun and a great success. Docs were written, Bugs were squashed, capabilities were added, performance was improved and new friends and colleagues were discovered. Proof

This time, we'll tackle some more bugs, some of the lingering Top ten Cartography Wishes from last time, and perhaps knock out some awesome new Mapnik documentation for the ever-increasing user community.

Last time, the Top Ten Advanced Cartography Wishes looked a bit like this: Ideas. Those that have been completed in the interim are struck-through.
