Blueprints for the GIS Module

The original GIS module is described here:

• ​http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php?id=dev:gis_infra

We use ​OpenLayers to display Maps with a few ​MapFish widgets.

We plan to use an integrated ​MapServer to display Shapefiles & Images
Q: Are we better-off supporting ​GeoServer?

• MapFish & OpenGeo do this
• GeoServer uses OpenLayers as native preview
• Next version of GeoServer will feature a REST configuration API!

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