Super cool work Yancy, definitely a welcome improvement. Definitely more than ready to go in as a community module.
I saw it at foss4g, and perhaps the coolest use of it is within Google Earth. If set up right a user can click on a geoserver point in Google Earth, and then it should have a link to an editor request which will pop up within google earth, so people can edit geoserver data directly in google earth. Yancy - what is the status with how that link appears? I feel like in the OpenCOP application it might have been an option on upload or something? Or I guess one could include it in the google earth info bubble .ftl? Could be nice if it was a layer option, just a checkbox to 'include edit link as attribute', which would then appear to the world as a normal attribute. Would take some deeper coding to get right, but could be nice. And ideally it'd hook in to security too and only show up as a link to users who have edit permission. As for copyright assignment - Hmmm... Looks like we need to update the sphinx docs with information about the contributors agreement. Yancy, could you download http://geoserver.org/download/attachments/819262/assignment_agreement.pdf?version=1 and follow its instructions? You'll need to sign it and get your company to send a letter assigning copyright (instructions are on that pdf). If GeoCent may have future contributors (which we hope they will) then it's easiest to have it say 'all employees' instead of 'Jane Doe', so that you don't need to send OpenPlans a letter for every new committer. Can follow up with me if you have any questions. Chris On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 5:52 PM, Yancy Matherne <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes.
