[GeoNode-users] Implementing GeoNode for University

[Stefan Steiniger]

Hi Florian,

I belive GeoNode can do the stuff, but I would not put GeoNode directly 
to for the image data. The handling of image mosaiks is anyway done by 
GeoServer behind the scene (but I also have been able to only get simple 
compression zips to run). However, at the end it depends what you want 
the user to do with the image data: watching them or/and downloading. So 
in my case I focus only on seeing imagery (and legends aren't of 
interest at the moment either) which means I don't need a full WMS and 
can provide a link to a Background Map in GeoExplorer (saw that solution 
also at OpenQuake. I don't have anything in place for that yet, but I 
wanted to go the MapBox route here (e.g. using Tilestream).

Docs are no problem with GeoNode as fast as I see, i.e. xls, doc, zip, 
pdf, etc.

However, as long as you have Dev capabilities you can add features to 
GeoNode on your own.

lets see what others say.
