Mark: Review WorldWindServerKit

[markpet49]

General notes/recommendations

• Explorer is very professional looking.
• A docker image might be a good distribution mechanism.
• Explorer should include some instructive narrative and/or some a things to try document.
• Add tool tips to controls..
• Find a way to address CORS Issues when running the software locally.
• Provide some other default data sets other than bathymetry.
• The checkbox in layer settings seems extraneous.
• Retrofit/share code for GeoPackage in WWJ.
• WWSK should be listed here. http://www.geopackage.org/implementations.html

Explorer.worldwind.earth

• The Bing imagery doesn’t show well (at least in MN). It is faint/washed out.
• Weather tab doesn’t appear to do anything.
• Needs some narrative to let users know what is going on.
• Tools need hints/tips.

Questions

• Does WWSK’s GeoPackage plugin compete with or augment GeoServer’s plugin?
• Why was the GeoPackage code copied vs. forked?
• What is the purpose of the red indicator on the perimeter of the compass? It appears to move randomly.
