<div>OpenLayers developers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hello. My group at Iowa State University has finally got a CLA submitted, and I'd like to gauge interest in some of the work we've done in the last year. We have:</div>
<ol>
<li>Fairly robust client-side polygon split/merge using JSTS,</li><li>Asynchronous tile caching using Web SQL Database, and</li><li>A "survey" library of questionable relevance to core OpenLayers which uses the OpenLayers class structure and can be used to build an attribute table with complex validation rules</li></ol>
<div>…in addition to several small bug fixes related to iOS/touch support.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This sounds great!</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll be submitting/following up on pull requests for the bug fixes, but I'm curious whether any of the first three items are of interest for inclusion in OpenLayers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(1) obviously depends on JSTS, so I assume it can't become part of core OpenLayers. Also, it's 100% client-side and doesn't quite fit the existing architecture of the Split tool.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It could qualify as an add-in likely: <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/Addins">http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/Addins</a></div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(2) is related to PR #643. We have async Web SQL DB working against OL 2.12, but it's ugly code that touches all kinds of internal stuff it shouldn't have to.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm guessing this can be of general interest to the library once cleaned up.</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(3) could be useful to people doing survey data collection of attributed vector features, but I don't know how common that is.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't think this fits in OpenLayers but it would be good to create a separate repository for this and announce it somewhere here on the users list maybe.</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd appreciate any guidance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
