<div>Hi Lee,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the responding delay. I've been so overloaded these last
weeks. I'm back now and I'll have some time to work on our
project. I'll rework your design picture so I'll put it on the git
hub as well suggest an interface design that we can share.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

<div>Thanks Abdoul,<br>
<br>
I'm in agreement. I think it's a good idea to nail down this
design/framework before going too far. I'm not sure what the
best way to collaborate on that is, other than for you guys to
propose your own "pictures" based on my start. <br>
<br>
For the most part, I created the attached image to initiate
discussion. When it comes to software design and build, I make
a much better soldier than a general. So, chiefly, I look to
those of you who are most experienced to set the right
direction of this project.<br>
<br>
On a last note, I do think it is important during this process
that we "think small." I ascribe to the belief that we should
"release early and often." For the initial programming, we
should look to have the smallest workable components.
Hopefully then we can generate interest, and build community
working towards a more robust product.<br>
<br>
</div>
How are others feeling? Thoughts? How can we refine my proposed
framework?<br>

<div>Hi Lee,<br>
<br>
The attachment works well for me. For your previous
questions, I still believe that we should spend a bit of
time on the design to make sure that we are heading into
the right direction and avoid leaving important things a
side. We could improve the framework that you've
suggested. What do you think guys?<br>

I've put together a simple
"project map" on how I see
the toolkit's workflow, at
least in my head. I'm
looking for feedback and
consensus moving forward.

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried
to use colors within the

another level of thinking.
I'm not sure how much it
worked, but here's the
descriptor.<br>
<br>
Yellow - User input /
handled externally.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Blue -
Internal to Forestry
Toolkit</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Green

No color - Handled

QGIS/Forestry-Toolkit</p>
</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.</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.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, to
dissect what's happening:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. The
user takes a forest parcel
and uses Forestry-Toolkit
to generate inventory
plots.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. The
user goes and collects the
information in the field.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. The
user enters the data into
an excel spreadsheet or
other format which will
output a CSV.</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). </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.
Forestry Toolkit will run
inventory data for each
stand.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Is
this making sense? 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?</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?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let's
come to a consensus. I'm
trying to facilitate, not
lead.<br clear="all">
