<p><font size="2">Dear All,</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">Based on my recent travels and interactions with numerous likely
end-users of GeoNode, I now have a short list of several key features/tweaks
that have been requested. Most of them are in the area of streamlining the
content administration process. I figured it would be good to send this out to
have people comment on and have a record of it. I have entered them into the
roadmap on the google code site. They are as follows:</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">Reworking data permission process:</font>
<ul type="disc">
<li><font size="2">Data permission's during upload</font><font size="2"> - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=37&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category";>http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=37&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a></font>
<li><font size="2">Batch permission management - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=38&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category";>http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=38&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a></font>
<li><font size="2">Names of permission categories - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=39&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category";>http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=39&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a></font></ul>
<br>
<font size="2">(Following features already on road map but were specifically
requested)</font>
<ul type="disc">
<li><font size="2">Upload csv, excel file - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=24&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category";>http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=24&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a></font>
<li><font size="2">Clip, zip, ship - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=15&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category";>http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=15&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a></font>
<li><font size="2">Request access to restricted data - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=5&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category";>http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=5&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a>
</font>
<li><font size="2">Querying and viewing of attribute data - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=35&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category";>http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=35&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a></font></ul>
<br>
<font size="2">There were also requests to expand types of files that could be
uploaded, however some of them seem to be lower priority. (All of these file
types are within the GDAL library).</font><br>
<font size="2">- KML files - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=27&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category";>http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=27&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a></font><br>
<font size="2">- Mapinfo TAB, MIF, MID file types. </font><br>
<font size="2">- AutoCAD .dxf files. This would require being able to
georeference them in the system as I do not believe .dxf comes with spatial
reference or projection data</font><br>
<br>
