-This year the project will focus on building the capabilities using the http://mapnik.org Mapnik] package.  It supports XML based configuration files, but needs additions to handle the needs of this project.  The QGIS [http://bitbucket.org/springmeyer/quantumnik/wiki/Home Quantumnik plugin] is an excellent example of moving toward the end goal of this project.
+This year the project will focus on building the capabilities using the [http://mapnik.org Mapnik] package due to its ability to output high quality vector maps.  It supports XML based configuration files, but needs additions to handle the needs of this project.  The QGIS [http://bitbucket.org/springmeyer/quantumnik/wiki/Home Quantumnik plugin] is an excellent example of moving toward the end goal of this project.  Other applications may be considered too.

 The concepts and idea below are quite diverse and represent a broad range of input.  If a SoC student takes on this project, part of their job would be to help focus on a particular part of the problem (and possible clarify some of the others into workable sized components).
