The codebase is coming along, but slowly. The imagery index is live, thanks to Christopher Schmidt, and Michal Migurski has written an extension to his Tilestache code that generates tiles using our infrastructure. I plan to write something similar for TileCache shortly. The archive server and processing tools haven't been developed very far yet. Right now, the way to get imagery into OAM is to process it manually, put the processed versions into an HTTP/1.1-accessible directory somewhere, and then run the oam-post script from the OAM code base to read the metadata and import it into the index. Some immediate to-dos: * extend the API to optimize querying and add scale-dependent filtering (I'm planning to do this today) * optimize the tile rendering * improve the UI on the imagery index * start working on a toolchain to allow uploading georeferenced imagery to an archive server, where it gets processed and added to the index automatically? > what servers are mirroring data? Right now the primary layers in OAM are NAIP, OnEarth, and Blue Marble, all of which, I believe are hosted on hyperquad at Telescience for now. Chris and I have been given access to a server at NPS that I'm still setting up. We've had some offers of hosting from elsewhere, but I haven't had time to take advantage of them. > has anyone else done any imagery? Brian, in what state are your processing scripts? Are they much more advanced than what we've got in the OAM repo now? I guess the code base is at the point now where we would benefit from additional contributors, and from the participation of people willing to do image curation. Everyone who's interested in participating at this still *very* alpha stage should pipe up now or otherwise get in touch.
