[MapProxy] Heads up - Implementing TIME support in MapProxy

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

Hi,

I suggest to think from the very beginning how to handle the case with rasters when the time range in the request is very wide so lots of time epochs are found. If the desired result is to serve the latest epochs for each pixel the oldest epochs which would be painted over in any case should be skipped with minimum effort. See https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/5899 that hopefully clarifies what I mean.

Aihe: [MapProxy] Heads up - Implementing TIME support in MapProxy

Hello MapProxy devs and community,

This email is a heads up that we have started to work on the implementation of WMS TIME dimension support in MapProxy, including caching and seeding of time-enabled WMS sources, and support for assembling WMS requests from a time-enabled tile cache.

This work is funded by the Meteorological Service of Canada and will be used to serve hundreds or time-enabled weather layers, A RFC (Request For Comments) document is underway and will be shared via this list soon, so that other devs and contributors can comment on the proposed approach to ensure that the implementation will meet the expectations of the project to be included in future releases. (We are also aware of
https://github.com/mapproxy/mapproxy/pull/377 and will actually try to build on it)

A parallel goal of our initiative will be to set the bases to make it easier for new devs to join the project as contributors and to assist Oliver to maintain the project in the long run, inspired by the way other OSGeo projects work. (We had some exchanges with Oliver on this offlist already)

Finally, I am only the project lead here, the guys doing the bulk of the coding work are:

- Ariel Nunez (https://github.com/ingenieroariel)
- Denis Rykov (https://github.com/drnextgis)
- Tom Kralidis (https://github.com/tomkralidis) - Tom is also the end client who will be testing/validating the final results.

We should hear from them soon.

Cheers all

Daniel
