So OpenGeo has been doing a bunch of work on GeoNode, and has a whole lot of extensions and indeed things to bring back to the core.
David wrote up a nice thing a bit ago to the dev list on the work we're doing for mapstory https://groups.google.com/a/opengeo.org/group/geonode-dev/browse_thread/thread/8fcf9addf3dceae9/d07ac7fbe0c4867a?lnk=gst&q=mapstory#d07ac7fbe0c4867a The more user facing items in that context that I know of: * Time animation controls and integrated timeline * Annotations / notes (https://github.com/opengeo/mapstory/wiki/Designshows those first two items) * Temporal upload (like you pick a 'time' field on upload so it can be animated) * improved search interface (thumbnails, maps and layers in same search, ajax continual page loading, temporal constrains, etc.) * Drag and drop upload - can select the set of shapefiles and just drag them to the spot on the upload page. Then the ANZSM project is bringing in another set of things (Jeff can fill in any I miss) * Social features (Jeff mentioned these in http://librelist.com/browser//geonode/2012/1/4/social-media-buttons/#8bfe5b398b615b0e6a2228ad31759569) groups, notifications, following, tagging, rating, etc.) * Fuller integration of WMS - like be able to add a WMS, not just upload data * (many more, but many are prototype-y, will need more work to get in. Jeff can sound in more) We definitely plan to get as many of these as possible integrated in to the core of GeoNode. There's a lot of amazing work going on around GeoNode, but I think we all need to work to get it in to a strong core and make it so others can more easily use all the cool extensions people are doing.
