[Talk-us] OpenLegend (SOTM Sprint Proposal)

For today's San Francisco SOTM Sprint, I'm writing to propose a design
effort to bring together legends.
The goal is to inspect each major map and build a legend, then combine
those legends into a big
cheat sheet.  Then, inspect each editor and list the features it has
presets for.

The design effort would likely create an XML schema to represent the
legend/presets for a particular design/editor.
One future benefit is a mapper who's mapped a particular feature (say, cell
phone towers) can see which map
their results will go it.  It could reduce pressure to make Mapnik "do
everything".

It is also a good sprinty topic, in that it needs someone familiar with
each target codebase.

Game on?
