</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Essentially, the blue boxes are the operations/utilities we need to build within Forestry-toolkit. I've tried to use brackets to describe where some of these codes or operations might already partially exist.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">For example, in reality, we could just force the user to do their plot generation within F-tools. That said, I find F-tools largely inadequate for generating the appropriate plots. It's just not simple or straight-forward enough to use for most forestry aspects. Which is fine, since it wasn't made for that purpose. So we could probably use the F-tools code, refine it, and put it in Forestry-Toolkit for plot generation.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal">So, to dissect what's happening:<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">1. The user takes a forest parcel and uses Forestry-Toolkit to generate inventory plots.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal">2. The user goes and collects the information in the field.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">3. The user enters the data into an excel spreadsheet or other format which will output a CSV.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal">4. Forestry toolkit will connect Plot ID between the plot shapefile and inventory CSV. The data will inherit a stand ID from the stand shapefile (spatial join). <u></u><u></u></p></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.

Is this what we want to do? Is there something we should adjust? For you software guys, is this the best way of doing it?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Basically, do we want to move forward with this "design" and better assign some tasks?<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Let's come to a consensus. I'm trying to facilitate, not lead.<br clear="all">
