[Qgis-developer] CyberTracker integration

[Justin Steventon]

Hi Tim,

 

Great to hear from you again – glad you’re still part of the open GIS
community J.

 

Your guidance makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

 

Cheers,

-Justin

Hi Justin

 

Having a cybertracker sequence generator in QGIS would be great. In general
for open source the way to go is to build something that solves your own
needs and then put it out there for others to use and contribute to. You
will probably get much more useful and directed feedback if people have
something (even an initial prototype) to play with that they can then kick
the tyres and give you pointers on what additions would make it more useful.

 

Regards

 

Tim

That’s true, I missed the concept of a form in the description on the site. 

 

My interest is in a rich, user friendly data capture experience, especially
for cases where the field user is not a QGIS user and may not be able to
read or write. Our studies indicate that this is also a more efficient way
to capture data for literate users. Over the years we’ve rolled our own
mini-GIS for the desktop, but the scalability of this approach is clearly
limited. Since we’re a non-profit and in the process of opening our code, it
makes sense to leverage an existing system. Of the solutions I have
investigated, QGIS seems most aligned at the technical level.

 

We do bring some interesting work to the table. Our client supports Windows
Mobile and Android and has a large library of customizable UI components
which can capture many different data types, including images and sound.
There is also support for timer tracks and a field map.

 

I’m pretty new to the Open Source community, so apologies if this is off.
I’m probably going about this all wrong.

 

Cheers,

-Justin

My project isn't about putting QGIS onto PDA.  QGIS doesn't run on PDAs and
I doubt it ever will.

 

QMap is meant to be a field collection version of QGIS.

Thanks Jürgen,

 

I see Nathan’s project is really about putting a stripped down version of
QGIS onto a PDA. Nevertheless, it’s impressive.

 

CyberTracker is designed more as a data capture conduit – highly
customizable UI (via XML) that can be used even by low-literate folks.
Integration with QGIS would be great.

 

If anyone is interested in a collaboration, please let me know.

 

Cheers,

-Justin
