Hi
These are the minutes from Steve and my meeting today. The nicely
formatted view is here:
http://openetherpad.org/x4phODf7yt
(I don't know how long this will stay up for though)
Would 2pm UK time on a Sunday be a better choice for another meeting?
Steve and I were talking about having them every 2 weeks at least while
the GSoC is running.
Cheers,
Kieran
Much more reliable trace recording tools, including voice and picture
notes. This will take about a week, as much of the work is already done
by osmtracker and opensatnav.
* http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/4/4e/JOSM-Jan-2009.jpg
* Consider talking to JOSM or Merkaartor people about anything we
need to support this
Add in support for alternative online routers other than yournavigation.
This will take less than a week, and will allow for the next point:
* Use OpenRouteService ATM, there are no fully open source routers
available. Cloudmade is probably not a good choice due to
restrictive license terms. OSM community is going to provide
something soon enough.
Turn-by-turn driving directions
This is the larger task, and will bring it much closer to the standard
set by AndNav and other satnav products. This will include text to
speech, using the standard android libraries if using Android 2.0+, or
the TTS download from the marketplace. I estimate that this will take 3
weeks for the basic visual view, and algorithms to detect moving off
route and moving past a step in the journey, and another 2 weeks to get
the TTS implemented, including intelligent TTS when there are several
instructions close together in a route.
* Look into AndNav code but probably only use overlay rendering
code
POI search around a place (choose a destination, then search for POIs
near it such as pubs or atms, using the Nominatum geocoder). This will
take about a week.
* Long click on map, goes to new menu
* POIs near here
* Route to here
* Visual search results - tapping a result brings up further
information about the POI, allows the user to ring the location
if there's a phone number in OSM and other nice use cases
Finally, there are two features that will be actually innovative:
* A widget view, so that someone can leave the application closed,
but still see driving directions in a 2x2 android widget, and
thus change music or other tasks without loosing view of the
driving directions. This will take another week.
* Main app can maybe send Intents to the widget so it can update
its view
* Driving directions to the status bar when the application is
minimised: driving directions will be posted as notifications,
so even if someone is in a call, they will still be able to see
where to go. This will take about a week (could be done much
more quickly, but will take a week to get perfect)
* Android might kill the app when it gets a call, requires
research (maybe OSN needs to always run as a service)
1.0 Roadmap (try for release in about 6 weeks)
* Kieran will add autocomplete to text search
* Kieran will get translations working in Launchpad
* Kieran will have a look at stats service - it seems that it
doesn't close when the program does and wastes battery
* bug 574176 - out of memory - Steve will have a look at what new
osmdroid does to try to alleviate this problem
* database is locked bug -
https://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/opensatnav/+bug/574187 -
Kieran will try Guillaume's suggestion as this hasn't been
tried?
Future
Release new 1.x version as each GSoC feature is complete
Meetings - Sundays at around 2pm UK time if it's a good time for
everyone else
