<DIV>Hi Christopher,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm happy to hear you like our version of Geomoose! We can set up an Intergovernmental Agreement with you so that we can send our data to you to get the website started. Dean's directions below explain the steps pretty clearly. Please contact me if you would like to move forward with the agreement, since it takes about 2 weeks to get signatures and set up usually.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will check with Krysta on how to make this work. It is using shape files (Crook County's is PostGIS). The easiest way to make this happen using Clatop's site as a starting point (if that meets your needs) is to do the following...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Set up the GeoMOOSE demo site on IIS or Apache and make sure it works. Apache is simpler. </DIV>
<DIV>2. Sign a data license with Clatsop to temporarily use their data (Check with Krysta to see if this can happen. She has been out with the flue for the last couple of days). </DIV>
<DIV>3. We will create a zip file of their site with data (no photos) and place it on the FTP site. </DIV>
<DIV>4. You install Clatsop on your site (This will ensure you have a working copy). </DIV>
<DIV>5. Become familiar with MapServer map files so you can start setting up the cartography. </DIV>
<DIV>6. Read my notes that I used to customize Clatsop's site from what Houston setup for the Oregon Consortium. </DIV>
<DIV>7. Give Houston, Kyrsta or me a call for help. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The buffer function is working fine for buffering around an individual parcel/taxlot or around a group. For any further customization you may want to contact Houston Engineering as they have done the Lion's share of customization for the Oregon Consortium.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know if this works for you. </DIV>

We use the WIKI to collect input, document requirements, and help prioritize projects. This information is then used to work with Houston to develop a project spec. As part of the last project spec Houston will post enhancements, etc.. on the WIKI so our members have an easy way to download enhancements and others can see them. My hope is that other groups will take advantage of the community portal and put their project info there.<BR><BR>Our group is pretty loose and informal. We get together about every 6+ weeks to...<BR><BR>1. Review web sites and interfaces and help each other to support our common Oregon customers (the public).<BR>2. Share results from existing projects.<BR>3. Share tips and tricks.<BR>4. Identify and prioritize projects for future development.<BR>5. Get web based training when we need it.<BR>6.

I wish I had more time to spend on it but as an IT guy I have other commitments.<BR><BR>I will be submitting a paper to FOSS4G to describe our implementation process including use cases.

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">I think having a permanent or semi-permanent support structure in place will only help and improve the implementors experience which should translate to a better end user experience. This has been an identified need for quite a while within the group here. No lack of support for setting up a more formalized support structure, it's just been more fun to develop. The trick is putting it together in a way that doesn't impede the development process, while still providing the resources needed for the process. I think a sheperding approach would be the least invasive to the process. It can also accommodate representatives from different interested parties to decide priorities as well future capabilities and options for improvements.</SPAN> <o:p></o:p></P>

Having said that I'm also aware of the need to setup some dedicated support functions along the lines of bug fixes, continued development and research into additional capabilities as well as integration with other Opensource as well as proprietary GIS services and systems. These GeoMoose savvy groups also have some additional ideas and capabilities already in the hopper related to improvements.
