I would like to propose adding a new application to OSGeo-Live:
Name: ncWMS
URL: http://www.resc.rdg.ac.uk/trac/ncWMS/
License: BSD
What it does: ncWMS is an implementation of a Web Map Server which can
read NetCDF files - a common format for distributing environmental data.
Standards: ncWMS uses the WMS standards (v1.1.1 and v1.3.0). The focus
is on providing a reliable server, but a mature client is also included.
Some extensions to the WMS standard are used to provide additional
functionality, but a WMS client which adheres to the OGC standards will
be able to access the service.
Language: Java (server), Javascript (client)
Version to be included: 1.1
Risk-averse: Both the UK Met Office and NOAA are ncWMS users who could
be considered risk-averse
Size of user community: >1500 downloads of release candidates
Size of developer community: Small core team (4-5 people) with
occasional bugfixes and enhancements from users.
Bug free, stable release: Yes
Level of testing: Release candidate versions have been on production
systems for 3+ years. Internal testing is also performed prior to each
release.
How long has project had mature code: +4 years.
User interface: This is a webapp and so runs in Tomcat. Both client and
server UI are web-based.
Liaison: Myself (Guy Griffiths)
Installation: Custom install script
Run in 512MB RAM: Yes, although the amount of RAM used depends on the
amount of data loaded. 512MB will be sufficient for the live demo.
Disk space: ~40MB + data
Data: NetCDF data is required to demonstrate ncWMS. Currently there is
no shared NetCDF data in OSGeo-live, but I will shortly send another
email to the list to discuss this.
