[QGIS-Developer] web based spatial MIS/Dashboard

[Janneke van Dijk]

Hi Rosa,

thanks for the quick response - I am also not sure exactly what my 
question is, so all answers are probably helpful. I am now having a look 
at streamlit and seeing if that helps me get a better picture. It's 
definitely interesting!

cheers from Tz :-)

So far, I have not been able to find out if this is possible using Open Source software, what it would require in terms of setting it up/configuring/additional development. I assume it is technically possible to develop it.

I guess strictly speaking it is not a QGIS question, but seeing that some other proprietary GIS software vendors are offering web dashboard functionality 'out of the box' it does get associated with the GIS software procured.

My impression is that there is more (very tentative) willingness from donors to consider contributing to Open Source software development as part of development projects, but it may mean that it would need to be written into tender proposals with indicative figures for the required funding.

I realise my questions are still rather broad. I have some time at hand so I would be available to do more research and become more specific if there is an interest in this topic.
