Export Journal

[vlion]

I have a draft design for solving Bug 32 up here:

http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Export_Journal_Notes

It looks like it is a medium-sized project with three areas of expertise(DW server configuration, programming and graphic design).

There are several open questions about how an export should look, and I've left those for someone who is good at graphic design to write.

I would appreciate comments and review.

(1) Clarification. I was thinking that a given user can't request an export more than every 5 minutes.

(2)Noted.

(3)Standard procedure is that the images + Latex file are combined into an output file. Typical scientific procedure is to use Postscript images, I *think*. It can get gnarly.

(3b) Linked off dreamwidth copyrights: I don't know. It's a good question. How do other sites do that sort of thing?

(4) PDF is a published standard now from what I noticed this weekend on Wikipedia.

(5)Partnering: doesn't sound like a bug. :)

Usually encapsulated postscript, which tells TeX where to put the thing, how big it is, and so on.
