| 4 | We use [http://openlayers.org OpenLayers] to display Maps with some [http://geoext.org GeoExt] widgets. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | == Ideas == |
| 7 | * [wiki:Projects/Basic#GISMapping Basic Tasks] |
| 8 | * complete [BluePrintMobileClient#Mapping support for Mobile devices] |
| 9 | * Integrate [http://riskinabox.org Risk in a Box] |
| 10 | * complete move of Internal [wiki:BluePrintGISFeatureLayers Feature Layers to GeoJSON] |
| 11 | * allow swapping from embedded to full-screen without a reload of the page |
| 12 | * complete moving of JS code from being generated [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/browser/modules/s3/s3gis.py#L1857 server-side] to [static http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/browser/static/scripts/S3/s3.gis.js] (for caching & easier maintenance) |
| 13 | * integrated Legends in the West Panel |
| 14 | * Simple example: http://api.geoext.org/1.0/examples/legendpanel.html |
| 15 | * More complex example: [http://suite.opengeo.org/geoexplorer/ GeoExplorer] (add some layers) |
| 16 | * complete migration to !GeoExplorer |
| 17 | * [wiki:BluePrintGISOSMLayers OpenStreetMap PoI Layers] |
| 18 | * Color coded maps according to Geo-data (threats, needs, etc) |
| 19 | * Placing variable sized markers on the map in proportion to data (number of people in camp, number of families needing food) |
| 20 | * Tracking people ( John Smith was registered at Camp A, then collected food at Camp B, then volunteers at Site C), or Items (The shipment of Tarpaulins moved from site C to site D, where it was split, and then half of them have been distributed from site E) |
| 21 | * Having a playable timeline slider (like [http://haiti.ushahidi.com/main]) |
| 22 | * Identify core [wiki:BluePrintGIStools GIS tools] |
| 23 | * Integrating Walking Papers ([http://walking-papers.org/]) functionality into Sahana |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * Merge http://skapes.org Geolytics toolkit |

| 72 | To display Shapefiles & Images we need to install a 3rd party server. |
| 73 | [http://geoserver.org GeoServer] is probably a better target than [http://mapserver.org MapServer] |
| 74 | * !GeoServer has a great in-built Admin UI |
| 75 | * !GeoServer can be configured via REST rather than !MapScript if we wish to control from within Eden itself |
| 76 | * !GeoServer uses !OpenLayers as native preview |
| 77 | * !GeoServer has a [http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Printing+2.0+HOWTO Printing plugin] |
| 78 | * [http://opengeosuite.org OpenGeoSuite] provides an integrated stack |
| 79 | * [http://mapfishblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/studio-beta-for-mapfile-manager.html MapFish Studio] |

| 81 | We should aim to be compatible with UN Logistics: http://www.logcluster.org/mapcenter/unsdi |
