=== Bugs ===
* #87
* #91
* #109
=== Documentation ===
The focus should be on concepts & Helpfile tweaks rather than detailed UI paths, as the UI is not final.
=== Map-based Lat/Lon Data entry ===
* Provide a function to allow selecting a location on a map to populate
* Points: Lat/Lon fields
* Polygons: WKT
=== Fix the map-based gis_location.represent ===
Currently this is commented out in {{{models/03_gis.py}}}
Want to separate out HTML representation .represent's from Export ones (i.e. all the rest).
* Plan for this in-progress
=== Location Entry ===
* Record source and associated error (related so posted under a single trac ticket [http://trac.sahanapy.org/ticket/158 158])
* Ability to record Location Data Source for all locations (GPS, Imagery Analysis, etc.)
* Ability to record location estimated accuracy (meters)
* GPS Conversion Tool
* Accessible from /gis/location/create
* Should support negative degrees!
* Ideally should allow setting of N/S & E/W instead of having to remember the +/-
=== UI ===
* [http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38318992/mapping_mockup.png Homepage Mockup]
* Separate out the Internal Features from External Features in !LayerSwitcher ([http://geoext.org/tutorials/layertree-tutorial.html#filtering GeoExt] skills)
* {{{views/gis/map_viewing_client.html}}} +68
* Be able to Group layers in layer Tree into Folders
* Provide Ext sliders to control cluster_distance & cluster_threshold interactively
* http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/layeropacityslider.html
* ~~Add numZoomLevels=22 (or some higher number than the default 16 so can zoom in on high res imagery better~~
=== Admin UI ===
* Provide admin UI for feature_to_feature_group, feature_class_to_feature_group, etc
* {{{controllers/gis.py}}} & {{{views/gis/...}}}
* Features are stored in the table gis_location
* Feature Classes are types of Feature & determine their Marker (Icon): gis_feature_class
* Feature Groups are collections of Features & Feature Groups & determine whether they appear as a separate layer on the Map to be enabled/disabled: gis_feature_group
* There are Many-to-Many tables linking these together (defined in {{{models/03_gis.py}}})
* There are basic Controller functions for editing these resources, however they aren't fully-exposed to users (need to type URL manually)
* We want nice User interface for these & menus (menus for GIS need some wider cleanup work anyway)
* 'mapping' table for feature classes - mapping web markers
* Allow to reorder layers and select which base layer to start with
* Explanatory text with the Views
=== Feeds ===
* Provide a feed for:
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.kml?feature_group=Port-au-Prince
* Need to work on {{{controllers/gis.py +260}}}
* Provide UI to access feeds:
* KML feeds:
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.kml
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.kml?feature_class=Hospital
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/organisation/4/office.kml
* Provide an easy way to select the Org by name
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/office.kml
* GeoRSS feeds:
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.georss
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.georss?feature_class=Hospital
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/organisation/4/office.georss
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/office.georss
* GPX feeds:
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.gpx
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.gpx?feature_class=Hospital
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/organisation/4/office.gpx
* http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/office.gpx
* KML Export
* Include Marker
* From our own site when using Portal
* From sahanafoundation.org when using an offline instance?
* So have a setting flag in {{{models/00_settings.py}}} for this (or gis_config table or gis_settings table?)
* bounds information - e.g. lat/lon min/max to go in the metadata. this improves display of KML when opened in the like of GE and other apps. not required, but does improve display
* #163
* Polygon support (currently uses Centroid)
* GeoRSS Export
* Polygon support (currently uses Centroid)
* GPX Export
* classify types when exported to Garmin icons (e.g. hms_hospital->Medical Facility, or_office->Building) See [http://home.online.no/~sigurdhu/MapSource-text.htm ref1],[http://www8.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/mapLegend.html ref2]. Note, recommended to use text - as auto GPS units what support bluetooth phones can recognise phone numbers and allow hands free calling
* bounds information - e.g. lat/lon min/max to go in the metadata. this improves display of GPX when opened in the like of GE and other apps. not required, but does improve display
* Polygon support (currently uses Centroid)
* Import
* GPX
* Bulk Uploader needs finishing
* Possibly add a feature that recognizes symbols for waypoints
* GeoRSS
* KML
* Provide a DB field for OSM ID, and provide a link in KML fields to set/update this ID:
{{{
Is there a way we can add a 'entered into osm' field in sahana that OSMers can edit as they add things to their map?
I think that should go into the location table, not into the hospital table
I can then export
And put into the KML feed
}}}
=== Code Cleanup ===
* Move GIS functions to a new {{{modules/s3gis.py}}}
* DRY the gis_config parsing in {{{controlers/gis.py}}} (currently in 3 different places!)
* pass a single s3.gis var through to views
=== IS_LOCATION Validator ===
Add a custom validator to {{{modules/validators.py}}} (or new {{{modules/s3gis.py}}}):
{{{
IS_LOCATION()
}}}
* This should support the ability to select a gis_location as an admin area (i.e. we don't know the exact location, but we know the town or district)
* This should be an AJAX auto-complete.
* Once chosen, then the 'parent' will be set to this location
* It should also support the ability to enter a precise Lat/Lon (or Polygon), in which case a function in the new {{{modules/s3gis.py}}} would calculate which admin area to set as the Parent automatically.
* It should also populate the 4 hidden (readable=writable=False) bounding box fields used to speed up spatial queries
=== !OpenLayers ===
* Features Layers
* Replace the custom function with accessing the internal KML feeds as then we get the ability to add useful info to popups via XSLT for both internal & external use
* WFS Layers
* http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs-reprojection.html
* http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/WFS-js.html
* WMS Capabilities Browser
* http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/wms-capabilities.html
* Unzip KMZ layers
* ~~[http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/XYZ-js.html XYZ Layers]~~
* Generated JS seems OK, but layers aren't visible
* XYZ layers verbatim from http://hypercube.telascience.org/haiti/uav.html work when entered as advanced JS layers
* Image layers?
* Added image layers from http://hypercube.telascience.org/haiti/uav.html using advanced JS
* ~~Cluster Strategy~~
=== MGRS ===
==== Done ====
* ~~Add MGRS Coordinate Display to Map~~
* ~~Chris Schmidt made MGRS / Lat Lon mouse position control using Jim Klassens USNG Lib~~
* ~~map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MGRSMousePosition());~~
* ~~Example Code http://hypercube.telascience.org/haiti/js/haiti.js~~
* ~~Using http://hypercube.telascience.org/haiti/js/usng2.js~~
* ~~And http://hypercube.telascience.org/haiti/js/MP.js~~
* ~~Add Clickable Index (KML, GeoRSS, or Queryable WMS) to get to MGRS Map Sheets begin Produced by Talbot Brooks~~
* ~~Requires [wiki:BluePrintGISProxy]~~
==== !ToDo ====
* Bug: Control is being activated when clicking on KML/GeoRSS popups!
* Beyond Haiti: Only activate control if bounds correct (-80 < Lat < 80?)
* A toolbar icon would be nice (Grid?)
* Move from Layers to a new 'Controls' section
=== Load GIS data ===
tcarobruce working on this with jonathank & mettadore
http://drop.io/sahanahaitigis - I have posted files here with data information
http://virtualdisasterviewer.com/haitiGrids/information/
CHECK OUT:
* http://www.virtualdisasterviewer.com/vdv/index.php?selectedEventId=7
* Street View! http://www.immersivemedia.com/haiti/index.php
==== !ToDo ====
* admin_area_for_latlng
* filter by bbox (once implemented)
* then use shapely to do Point-in-Polygon on remaining geometries
* merge wkt parse code into {{{modules/s3gis.py}}}
* simplify polygon if too big for wkt field (or throw exception, to start)
* code in {{{modules/s3gis.py}}}
* don't display all admin area feature groups (> 700)
* {{{enabled = False}}}
==== Administrative Areas ====
* Sources
* Unofficial: [http://tcbxyz.com/haiti/HaitiAdminAreas.zip Departments, Communes, Sections in EPSG:4326]
* Official (from [https://www.geoint-online.net/community/haitiearthquake/Geospatial%20Data%20Files/Forms/AllItems.aspx GeoInt-Online]): [https://www.geoint-online.net/community/haitiearthquake/Geospatial%20Data%20Files/haiti_departments01132010.zip Departments], [https://www.geoint-online.net/community/haitiearthquake/Geospatial%20Data%20Files/haiti_communes_01132010.zip Communes], [https://www.geoint-online.net/community/haitiearthquake/Geospatial%20Data%20Files/haiti_sections_01132010.zip Sections]
* '''Projection Issue''' Departments and Communes files are in [http://www.spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/32618/ EPSG:32618]
* WMS for display on Map (large Vectors will slow browsers to a crawl): http://haiti.opensgi.net/geoserver/ows?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities
* Preprocessing Addendum
* Shapefile to WKT (for calculations): {{{ogr2ogr -f CSV haiti_departments Haiti_departementes_edited_01132010.shp -lco GEOMETRY=AS_WKT}}} (OGR 1.6+)
* '''to reproject''' with ogr2ogr, add source and transformation SRSes: {{{-s_srs EPSG:32618 -t_srs EPSG:4326}}}
* Build a script to do this (very useful for future responses as this is a common process)
* can run the script from a Controller so that you can access Models
* provide UI afterwards
==== Other Data To Load ====
* Populations
* Shapefiles https://www.geoint-online.net/community/haitiearthquake/Geospatial%20Data%20Files/2003_Haiti_pop_estimates.zip

=== Longer Term Improvements ===
* use a spatial db like [http://postgis.refractions.net/ PostGIS]
* bulk loading via web interface
* use location's {{{admin_id}}} to give users (presumably local experts) administrative control over locations in a particular geographic area
