I know there have been discussions of desirable V2 features, but if it
has been formalized I haven't seen it.
My expectations were that the students would likely fork xastir,
rather than submit actual changes against 1.9.latest. If things work
out exceedingly well, this fork could be the basis for V2.
Depending on the desires of the students, simply porting the current
version of xastir to use Qt as the GUI base may be doable.
I know that a GIS-enabled RDB is mentioned frequently, but I
personally have doubts about requiring a full-up RDB installation as
part of a basic xastir install. Are there GIS extensions for, eg,
sqlite? hmm, google says there is: http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/
I brought up the subject with the profs in the spring. I didn't
realize it was being considered until I found myself with 48 (now 24)
hours to put together a description. |:
:-) Last summer, I found myself teaching our senior level OS class,
with 24 hours to prepare, a copy of the slides (thankfully electronic),
and no book. I got the book late in the first week of classes. I was
relieved to see I'd not taught anything currently considered to be
"wrong" nowadays. Several years back, I had proposed a formal geodesy
class. I didn't hear anything 'til about now, and had 48 hours for
syllabus preparation. Don't you love how their planning can make a
jumble of YOUR week?
If there is enough interest, I thought about throwing together a
mailman list so that the students and any parties who are sufficiently
interested to interface with students have a place to communicate.
