Hi, Just starting to use GeoNode, and before going through the install, I tried out the demo server, in particular the data upload at http://demo.geonode.org/data/upload
I tried to upload a "land use" sahpe file for Port-au-Prince (Haiti) for testing. It has 8 vectors with an ad-hoc land use classification. All loads without problems in QGIS. I do not have the .prj file (with is said to be optional) but data is in EPSG:4326 (lat-lon). Vectors are MULTIPOLYGON type. Upload fails, and I only get "An error occurred while loading the data.". As a sideline, the name field complains about non- character fields (-, space, etc.) which is somewhat awkward for "natural" naming. My prime interest, for the moment, is to test the meta-data tagging, and WMS and WFS fucntionalities, including re-projection and re-formatting. Mid-term, we may be interested to set up internal and external GeoNodes. I read the recent FOSS4G presentations, and am buying into the idea that GeoNode is a step ahead. Documentation is somewhat poorish, though, and community momentum slowly building up. We'd be interested to know how we can contribute (as users, mostly) Guido Lemoine
