Vi giro questa news che il gruppo di sviluppo di mixare ha rilasciato oggi. Ciao, Paolo
We have great news to announce! Yesterday evening Peer GmbH [1] and R3 GIS GmbH [2] chose to join their efforts to help mixare grow at even a faster pace. The expertise of R3 GIS about Geographic Information Systems, Digital Terrain Models, and GPS knowledge is a perfect fit for the User Experience knowledge of Peer internet solutions. The companies agreed on a concrete roadmap for the next few months, that is listed below: bugfixes * download retries * GPS fix * various Nullpointer exceptions fixes Improvements * Compass precision: investigation of possible corrections / datasources * Compass correction by the means of accelerometer readings? * GPS precision (altitude): investigation of possible corrections / datasources * GPS precision (overall): integration of DGPS services? WAAS? Other possible services * Integration with high precision DTM (Digital Terrain Model) and visibility analysis * Marker display enhancements related to precision and distance * Additional handling of polylines and polygons * Additional standardized data-format support (XML based) * User Interface enhancements: menu support, better feedback to the user * Warnings in case of issues with data reliability (magnetic field distortions, old/wrong GPS fix). Maybe a diagnostic mode for advanced users? * Social network integration: twitter with support for login, timeline, lists, search. Maybe send geotagged tweets? * Support for local data sources (not in terms of URI, but rather collection of POIs) R3 GIS GmbH [2] and Peer GmbH [1] are committed to open source. The project keeps its GPLv3 license, all code contributions will be put in the public repository [3] and the discussion will happen in the public development mailing list[4], so that everyone is able to chime in and participate. We are thrilled to see the mixare community grow, and that companies with great expertise join the project!
