Martin Desruisseaux commented on SIS-43:
----------------------------------------
Thanks a lot for your document, it is a nice start. There is some thoughts.
Would it be possible to elaborate a little bit on some of the following items
please?
* What would be the target platform? JDK6, JDK7 or JDK8. JavaFX is available on
all those platforms but with different level of completeness. In particular,
JavaFX on JDK8 has a tree-table widget which does not exist on earlier
versions. Such tree-table widget may be useful for metadata display. Targeting
JDK8 in order to get this widget would be fine for me, but if so do you plan a
something for previous platforms? Alternatives could be:
** Simulate tree-table widget on JDK7 and JDK6 by a classical tree widget on
the left side and a classical table on the right side, where the table shows
the immediate children of the selected tree node.
** Declare tree-table out-of-scope for pre-JK8 platforms.
* Metadata can be complex. A tree-table showing metadata may be considered as
an "expert view". Do you plan to design some simplified view showing just the
essential information for non-experts? That would probably be good for
application adoption, but deciding what are the "essential" information and how
to present them are somewhat arbitrary and could be the subject of some
discussion on the mailing list.
* Which kind of data would be shown? Point, vectors or rasters? Those 3 kinds
of data are handled in different ways. SIS 0.4 does not have raster support yet.
* The document mentions map projection in some places. This part is dependent
of the completion of {{sis-referencing}} module in the given timeline, which is
quite possible but still uncertain. Is map projections something that we want
to commit on?
