Blueprints for the GIS Module
Ideas
- Enable downloading of datasets (allows sharing of data with e.g. MapAction)
- CSV format?
- Shapefile format? (using GDAL/OGR Python bindings)
- Button in catalog? (location selector to optionally clip to)
- Also on Map? (clipped to viewport?)
- OpenStreetMap PoI Layers
- Can we use same DB as generates Tiles?
- Styler for GeoJSON Layers
- enable/disable together all layers within a folder
- Offline Maps:
- Playable Timeline slider
- HeatMaps
- Routable Roads
- Import Rasters
- gdal_polygonize: http://www.gdal.org/gdal_polygonize.html
- Basic Tasks
- complete support for Mobile devices
- Integrate Risk in a Box
- complete moving of JS code from being generated server-side to [static http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/browser/static/scripts/S3/s3.gis.js] (for caching & easier maintenance)
- Placing variable sized markers on the map in proportion to data (number of people in camp, number of families needing food)
- 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)
- Identify core GIS tools
- Integrating Walking Papers (http://walking-papers.org) functionality into Sahana
- Merge http://skapes.org Geolytics toolkit
- Pakistan requirements
- Include radio station footprints (VHF inc broadcast - like Radio Mobile)

To display Shapefiles & Images we currently need to install a 3rd party server. GeoServer is probably a better target than MapServer
- GeoServer has a great in-built Admin UI
- GeoServer can be configured via REST rather than MapScript if we wish to control from within Eden itself
- GeoServer uses OpenLayers as native preview
- GeoServer has a Printing plugin
- OpenGeoSuite provides an integrated stack
- MapFish Studio

We should aim to be compatible with UN Logistics:
