Scoping out OMK priorities for an upcoming sprint #98
Comments
@smit1678 thanks for getting this started. having the above improvements will definitely assist with data collection efforts on the ground, and managing it for quality check afterwards. in regards to the OMK mobile app improvement, yes, the ability to edit and add attribute information to polyline features would greatly help our data entry specialists on the ground. |
From @PaulUithol:
|
^ these relate to what we find is the main bottleneck at the moment to enable use of OMKServer in field situations; management and processing of form submissions |
To expand a bit on the OMK Mobile app improvement ideas/renderer: Currently, there are quite some setup steps involved in preparing for deployment of a project. We'd like to ease/simplify setup/deployment. Right now, the minimum steps are to:
If we replace the current renderer to enable direct usage of vector data (can that/MapboxGL use .osm xml somehow?), that would allow us to:
|
(on type of file to use for 3/4 - GeoPackage may also be pretty cool?) |
I +100 to all the items that make deployment and form creation easier And documentation? Does that exist? We should make sure there is a LearnOSM module for it if there is not one already. I can look into that. |
Definitely! On docs, there's a bunch at http://www.openmapkit.org/docs.html |
Would be nice to review updates to the main ODK project since OMKServer was first created and make sure that it can handle all data from all standard questions as well as OpenMapKit type questions? |
@PaulUithol - the docs could use an overhaul/refresh. and also would benefit from a different publishing format. i'm not really a fan of theDocs being used right now. |
Here is some additional recommendations from the HOT team in Indonesia, following our Tech WG meeting: OpenMapKit App
OpenMapKit Server
|
Thanks for everyone's input thus far. To make sure everyone has the link, we've sketched out some initial tickets and moved the initial work on the server app into a Project view in the hotosm/OpenMapKitServer repo. Over the next few weeks we're going to knock out some of the low hanging fruit for the OMK Server, but based on the discussion above there is clearly a need to do more development on the Android App. |
HOT has several upcoming projects that will look to leverage OpenMapKit Server. In advance, let's start a thread here that outlines some of priorities as well as nice-to-haves. This is just a start, mainly to the question of:
What are some existing workflow challenges with OpenMapKit that can be address in 4-6 weeks of development?
I've chatted briefly with a few people including @mataharimhairi @mojodna and @danbjoseph but want to open it up further as we hone in on a list. Some of these are also currently captured in a few places and from this thread we'll move items into their appropriate repos (OpenMapKitServer, OpenMapKitAndroid).
Breaking this into two overarching categories:
Depending on the technical lift, some of these may or may not be able to be addresses without some significant rewrites of either application so that should be flagged now and considered.
@mberg - how far ahead or perpendicular is the Ona fork for the Android app? What are the improvements that have been made in relation to the mSpray work? Is it worth considering how to get some of the improvements made back into the core app?
