Hi Germán,
I am answering some questions about QGIS web client.
Actually the goal of the QGIS client is not so much to be a open-to-all
servers/protocols project, but to tie it rather closely to QGIS server.
If you do not use QGIS server I do not recommend using QGIS web client.
We try to use open standards, but often we have some proprietary
extensions to make things work (like printing) which are not covered by
OGC standards.
in coming days (perhaps weeks) I'll publish the sixth version of the
Web Mapping Client Comparison [1].
It will include the QGIS Web Client, so I'd like you to validate the
following data, which will help me get accurate information about
your
project:
* License: BSD
yes
* Latest version: ? (2011.??.??)
we do not have versions/releases, we have rolling releases with
irregular updates based on user/client demand and developer time.
* Origin country: Switzerland
yes - but now it is an international project
* Origin organization/institute/university: Andreas Neumann
although I was the original author, it is now part of the QGIS project,
so I would just list the QGIS community here. If you want to publish the
original author - then yes it was me, and my organization is the City of
Uster in Switzerland. Meanwhile others are using the QGIS Web Client and
others are contributing, such as Sourcepole, Faunalia and other people
from the QGIS community.
* Documentation:
o Languages: English; German
Documentation language is english, the UI is available in several
languages like englisch, german, french, italian, portuguese and more.
o Formats: HTML; Issue Tracker; PDF; TXT; Wiki
it is based on OpenLayers and GeoExt and builds on HTML, SVG and
Javascript. For older IE browsers there are VML fallbacks, but this may
be removed as older IE versions are disappearing (hopefully soon).
o Levels: Users
what do you mean by "Levels"?
* OSGeo project: Yes (QGIS)
By itself, QGIS web client is not an OSGeo project, but QGIS is part of
OSGeo, yes.
* Source code language: Javascript; Python
yes, Javascript and it requires dependencies, such as OpenLayers, ExtJS
(currently version 3x) and GeoExt.
* API language: Javascript
we do not yet have a published API. We have certain Rest interfaces
with the server which are documented, but we do not yet have a real
well-structured and documented JS API.
* OGC Geo-services support: WMS
yes
* Tile-based services support: Yes
not yet officially supported, but being based on OpenLayers, one can
always add tile-based layers if one wants.
* Requires proprietary plug-ins?: No
yes - not plugin required.
* Includes metadata component?: No
We plan to display some metadata which can be maintained in QGIS
desktop projects - but this is not yet available.
* Mailing lists: Yes (Users; Developers)
yes
Hope this helps,
Andreas
