     2[[TOC]]
     3
     4We 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
     26

     72To 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]

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