Hello All, First, thanks a ton to Schuyler for laying out such a well thought out development plan/proposal. I am sure there will be a host of other ideas/proposals regarding the specifics of how to approach the problem, but this is a great start in my opinion.
I suppose I should introduce myself as well. I am one of the naive folks who first put up the OAM Wiki and composed much of the initial mission statement, made the logo, etc. I am not a programmer, but would be a heavy user of such a system and I work on problems of time sensitive image exploitation from an academic perspective. Enough about me. I would like to propose, after consolation with John Crowley, that we try to come up with 2-3 "Phase 1" approaches to OAM that folks at the upcoming RELEIF meeting can try to hack together. This is of course addition to that many topics laid out by Don Brutzman for discussion during the Thursday conference call; licensing would seem to be the real hurdle for that discussion. I think Schuyler's approach should certainly be 1 of the options, but given the range of ideas proposed I would think that several of you have alternative architectures in mind. I have not had time to synthesize all of the proposed ideas from the TALK list, but I created a wiki page here ( http://www.openaerialmap.org/RELEIF_Nov09) to propose alternative "phase 1" approaches with Schuyler's as the the first. I put what I see as the "big picture" options into that page already, but I am sure many of the people on this list are more knowledgeable about these things than I am. Please edit freely, but try to leave a trail for those who might edit after you. This approach will allow us to flush out and compare a few different architecture approaches directly, and then come out of the meeting with a clearer picture of how to start building the larger system and hopefully with a small code base to start from. Seem reasonable? Chris
