I saw this a while ago and was impressed to see something like it. I am currently learning some XML and following an RSS application tutorial that uses python to build an Aggregator for RSS.
I was thinking that maybe changing it to a GEORSS feed agregator and finding a way to plot points of an RSS in GRASS might be a cool little application. This would have great use in larger safety applications plotting 911 calls as an RSS, or reporting missing people (such as S and R). There is also interest in an APRS application extension. Xastir is program for receiving and plotting APRS(tm) position packets (http://www.xastir.org/). My team will be developing communications means and would like to track assets in the field using APRS. A script to listen to, capture and manage APRS will be on the wish list in the future. GEM looks like it can help us scipters prove some concepts.

The GRASS Extensions Manager (GEM) can be used to add a group of like-minded custom modules to an installation of GRASS, including adding a new menu section in the GUI: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass63/manuals/html63_user/gem/index.html Hamish ________________________________________________________________________ ____________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
