I would avoid multiplying sites and services: why not just adding a
branch to main svn, or adding one project (qgis-plugins) to the existing
osgeo infrastructure?
All the best.

Re: [Qgis-user] Desktop metadata editing...

2009-06-08 Thread maning sambale
Documentation perhaps?  I tried using
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/qgismetaedit/
But never, got past loading the example xmls, I am having difficulty editing.
I'm a newbie in metadata editing, normally I just create a simple
textfile for our GIS output.

Re: [Qgis-user] Public Repository for plugins...

2009-06-08 Thread Dane Springmeyer



Basicaly housing a bunch of plugins in one place in one repo and
different people are responsible for their different plugins and we  
all
follow the "proper" way to package and distribute to the python  
plugin

loader.



I think this is a great idea and free SVN hosting like google code  
would work well for this.




Thoughts?



We've discussed it briefly previously and I believe Gary was looking
into how to do this so it would be integrated with the distribution  
site

http://pyqgis.org/



Funny - how is it that there are only two 'official plugins'?

Although that appears to be down at the moment, it's where the  
Official

and Contributed Plugins are hosted from.



works for me


As I pointed out in a previous thread on this the model you wrote is
basically like trac-hacks.org, and feasible. There is some question as
to whether we should go with a DVCS to allow for more flexibility in
merging and trading pieces.


I would vote for SVN, because it lends itself to the multiple  
directory, many projects approach, while mercurial is specifically  
designed to house only a single code project.




It appears that some plugin devs prefer Git
or Mercurial over svn for this stuff.



The only reason I use mercurial (http://bitbucket.org/springmeyer/quantumnik/ 
) is because for early development of unique projects I personally  
prefer to having ONE clear wiki for ONE clear project with ONE rss  
feed I can share with folks. (While I really enjoy using google code  
for a sandbox for lots of other stuff, like with http://code.google.com/p/mapnik-utils/.)


So, I would imagine that David's suggestion of a kind of group  
versioned code site (even though I may not use myself), would be best  
using Subversion.



Overall though I agree we need a central hub for plugin development to
make it easier to manage the Official ones and allow champions to  
easily

pickup where someone else left off.



Someone create one!

I'm kinda chuckling because you just brought together the same two
things I'm working on. Here's the sourceforge site for the plugin I started
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/qgismetaedit/

Contributions are welcome, the big thing on the table is we need to swap
out the XML parser to allow for better character handling and saving.
I've already picked out Elementree as the tool and started a branch but
won't have time to work on it for another week or two.

[Qgis-user] Desktop metadata editing...

2009-06-08 Thread Sampson, David
Ahh.. Metadata

As I am going through creating some plugins and learning about OWS
services and trying my hand at a catalogue plugin I got to thinking,
what does the open source world do for managin their metadata on their
desktop?

I know and quite like projects like geo-network and our own flavour at
http://geodiscover.cgdi.ca/  but I am curious as to what people use for
their desktop.

Back when FGDC was the spec of choice I used MP (metadata Parser) quite
extensively http://geology.usgs.gov/tools/metadata/tools/doc/mp.html but
with the new world of IS and the upcoming NAP (North American Profile) I
wonder what people are doing now.

Would a lean desktop editor help people in the workflow. Essentialy
maintaining their metadata on the desktop then exporting (through valid
XML) to publishing facilities such as geonetwork..

The idea is to couple data and metadata while people are working with
the data.

Are people working on this? Do open source solutions already exist?

Would a plugin for QGIS be useful? Or a desktop app that can hit many
softwares like GRASS, QGIS and others?

Thoughts?

The response is not valid XML as it should. It seems like a server

RE: [Qgis-user] Public Repository for plugins...

2009-06-08 Thread Sampson, David
Maybe those that are interested can have a little thread and come up
with a temp solutions while the ducks line up...

I would propose sourceforge as that is what I know and I already help
admin a project on sourceforge.

I would say if we can get three plugin groups working together that is a
good start.

Any takers?

[Qgis-user] Public Repository for plugins...

2009-06-08 Thread Sampson, David
Is there a co-ordinated effort o house multiple QGIS plugins in the same
place?

I am thinking specifically of python plugins that deal with OGC type
services.

Sourceforge is a classic option

There is also http://code.google.com/opensource/

I am thinking one central place for people that don't want the overhead
of housing their own code.

The thought would be something like the following in the repo

Repo ==>
Plugin I==>
trunk
branches
tags
Plugin II ==>
trunk
branches
tags


Basicaly housing a bunch of plugins in one place in one repo and
different people are responsible for their different plugins and we all
follow the "proper" way to package and distribute to the python plugin
loader.

Probably a Python Path issue, double check that you put rpy2 in the

Every time I try to install it I receive a message that I have not  
installed rpy2.robjects. Which I cannnot understand becuase I have
