+This !BluePrint is a collection of ideas relating to uploading, aggregating, selecting, and exporting GPS info. It contains parts that could be split off into several parts that could be suitable projects for GSoC. See the end of the page for one such suggested project.

+One useful subset of GPS Sharing would be to implement a convenient workflow and forms through which users could:
+ * Upload files of GPX data to share. (Using a file for input and output avoids the issue of expensive hardware.)
+ * Select data they're interested in, based on (for instance):
+  * Region (e.g. what city it's in, given a polygon boundary, or other location-based queries).
+  * Type (e.g. hospital, vehicle).
+  * Time (e.g. when the points were recorded in the field).
+  * Maybe select using a map.
+ * Display on a map.
+ * Export to a file.
+ * Maybe tie this to the "Save Searches" project so the user could record their queries.
+ * An extension of the project would be to allow editing the data.
