Re: [udig-devel] Google or Bing Example
|
Seems we did not perhaps make the best choices for the udig community visibility. We focused on what was practical for us. Since Davide is stabilizing the code+docs now, perhaps after that is a good time to publish it into udig SVN also? We will keep github in place since the SVN is seen just as another branch. I presume the SVN code will become the 'official branch', especially if the community take interest in it.
But for the geotools and the neo4j parts, we need further discussion and thought. We kept that all in the one github project partly because it was not obvious how to split it in the first place. Perhaps we can have a discussion with the right people at foss4g? Or should the decision be taken earlier?

I see.
For the work to be picked up by geotools we need to arrange to place it into the geotools as an unsupported module (anything else would go stale through lack of use, nightly builds etc...). I was not really going to look at David's code until it was in the udig community svn folder.
We have not (yet?) updated our polices with respect to git - although Jesse has a change proposal we can now look at now that 1.2.0 is out of the way.

Hi Jody,
Please clarify. Very little time before what?
For the GSoC work, Davide's code has been on github for a long time now, so I think the visibility of that should be OK. Perhaps we have failed to mention the location of the code in the reports?
It is missing documentation, but Davide is working on that this week. By the end of the week we should have docs for the complete stack :-)
For my own work, my deadline is only a decent presentation of graph databases in GIS for the FOSS4G. My code is built on Davide's earlier work, also on github at
http://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-spatial. This project also contains part of Davide's work, including the geotools parts.
We would like to discuss how best to split the code three ways for the three open source projects they contribute to, but want to get everything working solidly first. I think the uDig part does not need much, but the neo4j-spatial part could be contributed, partially, to geotools itself.
Cheers, Craig

Craig this is a reminder to you in your own mentoring endeavours; there is very little time left to get code in front of the udig community (and in front of the geotools community where they have actually been asking for it).
Thanks Jesse I would really like to see the tile client work in general circulation. Do you think it could be something for the udig update site?

Hi currently the project is in a GIT repository. I should be able to bring it into uDig in fairly short order.

Thanks Jody,
Nope, don't want to run into any license issues. : )
Would be interested in taking a look at the tile servers project.
Thanks for your response.

Jesse had some examples of using other tile servers (tileserver, yahoo, etc...) done by a google summer of code student last year. It is my hope that this makes its way into the project.
With respect to google - use of their imagery outside of a browser runs counter to their licence agreement. There is a wide range of projects (JScience for example) that needed to pull their project after adding support for this feature. (It takes a couple days to do).
Recently google changed some of their license agreements; but I am unaware if this lifts the browser/_javascript_ restriction. QGis has recently added this feature as a plugin but I only see descriptions of it in Japanese - and I expect they will be in legal trouble shortly.
We have thought of a way to do it; run a _javascript_ engine and use the google _javascript_ api to access the images - however that seems a bit dishonest.
