Hi,<br>thanks for inviting to this mailing list,<br>I have worked between November 2009 and end of January 2010 on Geopard, an open-source project<br>aimed at allowing the layman end-user to map his/her own building's levels and inside contents<br>
and make those maps viewable, searchable & manageable over several interfaces : desktop (josm+geopard pluging), web(simple openlayers page), mobile(nutiteq j2me maps lib-based much evolved client). Notable features are wifi-geopositioning, and path finding both on android devices.<br>
"open-source" here is not quite true, not in our intentions, because we do want to release everything as open-source but in what have released so far by lack of emulation <br>up on our <a href="http://sf.net">sf.net</a> page bzr repo : <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/geopard">http://sourceforge.net/projects/geopard</a> <br>
<br>The server side technology was and openstreetmap server stack (rails port for a web read/write API, mod_tile+renderd for tiles requests handling & caching, postGIS+mapnik for tiles jobs rendering) with increased zoom level (up to 22, while default is 17).<br>
We had to add 2 webservices to the stack : 1 to get kml for our building's contents, using the query-on-map scripts hacked a bit ; another to generate an per-building-level sqlite .db files of wifi beacons positions and also walkable paths in order for the android client to take this db and query it for doing real-time wifi geopositioning (which worked).<br>
<br>We want to try out ZOO-project instead of an OSM server stack in order to try and stick to the OGC standards and have our webservices integrated inside the wfs/wps interfaces which ZOO obviously allows to do with it .zsp files.<br>
<br>Here's a video about our project :<br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gy5F7pYNAw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gy5F7pYNAw</a><br>basically everything in this video is implemented except the menu you see where you can choose between the close buildings - which is fake and was put there just as a potential developement : we have support for only one building for now.<br>
<br>So once we have trac access or svn-read access, we'll give you news on deploying zoo and testing out the zsp interface.<br><br>Thanks again for allowing me in this project at least with mailing list access and with trac access,<br>
