Hi Ed. I am Roshan Bhurtha, from the Zamani Project, Geomatics Division, University of Cape Town. I am an Electrical Engineer/Programmer and I work in a team which documents heritage sites in the Middle East and Africa. We have been documenting heritage sites for more than a decade and worked with international institutions, incl. the Getty ( Valley of the Queens Project). My function in the team is: writing code when needed for our laser scan processing pipeline, processing 3D terrestrial lidar, automating processes, teaching programming, fieldwork (the most interesting part), metadata stuff, and some admin :) Arches looks like a very nice way to present our data to the public ( and we have a lot of it ). I want a system that can help me manage users with different access levels, with the possibility to upload download data and present our massive 3D data sets and GIS data on the web. We do that, partially on our web site, but there is lots of room for improvements (www.zamaniproject.org) ! I currently use FTP when having to dish out data to people, but starts to be a pain.
We are based at the beautiful University of Cape Town, at the foot of the Devil's Peak. Out of my window is, unfortunately, another set of ugly windows. But a 1 minute walk out of the office building gives me a nice panoramic view of the city. I look forward to Arches!
