[20:10:39]<paul121[m]>We really need a general module that allows you to just enter WMS URLs...
[20:12:40]<paul121[m]>But then, is the best user experience enabling a module or is it copy/pasting the Ireland WMS URLs? Maybe there is a middle ground? 🤔
[20:23:14]<symbioquine[m]>Maybe both
[20:25:29]<symbioquine[m]>All of Ireland might have module(s), but there's lots of countries/municipalities with GIS data that probably won't have modules.

[02:57:19]<FarmerEd[m]><paul121[m]> "We really need a general..." <- Simple enough for one layer like the soil survey example, I suppose multiple layers like weather could be more of a challenge especially if parameters are handled differently from different sources. Maybe easiest to dynamically add complete URL's including parameters for each layer?
[07:00:59]<mstenta[m]>> But then, is the best user experience enabling a module or is it copy/pasting the Ireland WMS URLs? Maybe there is a middle ground? 🤔
[07:00:59]<mstenta[m]>What if we had a publicly maintained list of WMS URLs, perhaps hosted as a JSON file on GitHub, which was used to show a settings form in farmOS with checkboxes to enable them?
[07:01:24]<mstenta[m]>Still... enabling modules is probably the best from a UX perspective, if not a DX perspective
[07:01:30]<mstenta[m]>Maybe
[07:02:06]<mstenta[m]>Its also nice to package related featues into modules sometimea
[07:02:12]<mstenta[m]>s/sometimea/sometimes/
[07:03:01]<mstenta[m]>Or all of the above?
[07:07:59]<FarmerEd[m]>Yes, why not all of the above?
[07:10:03]<mstenta[m]>Range of flexibility
[07:10:31]<FarmerEd[m]>serves every scenario,
[07:10:32]<FarmerEd[m]>the WMS URLS as a JSON file, I presume those on Farmier can then enable/ disable themselves?
[07:12:12]<FarmerEd[m]>I presume if that's the case, it would make your admin role easier to just keep one list to suit all clients.
[07:13:01]<mstenta[m]>Yea it could be a core/contrib module, so would work easily on Farmier
[07:13:18]<mstenta[m]>As well as a core module that lets you add raw WMS URLs
[07:13:34]<mstenta[m]>That's a lot of flexibility right there
[07:14:23]<mstenta[m]>And then if there are more specialized modules developed, those can go through the normal review process for inclusion (thats where the work is)
[07:14:44]<FarmerEd[m]>It's not unlike symbioquine plugins for Asset Link, I wonder what other modules could be served customizations like that?
[07:14:56]<mstenta[m]>> I presume if that's the case, it would make your admin role easier to just keep one list to suit all clients.
[07:14:56]<mstenta[m]>I'm thinking this could be community maintained
[07:23:58]<mstenta[m]>One thing we need with all options is to specify whether or not its a "base" layer (like aerial, satellite) or just an overlay (like weather, soil lines)

[10:39:44]<paul121[m]>STAC catalog!!!! :-)

[11:03:42]<mstenta[m]>Thanks Jan Sonntag!!
[11:04:21]<mstenta[m]>Looking at you next Farmer Ed 😄
[11:05:40]<FarmerEd[m]>farmOS as Gailge?
[11:06:14]<mstenta[m]>https://localize.drupal.org/translate/languages/ga/translate?project=farm
[11:06:28]<mstenta[m]>Only 1011 strings to go! 😆
[11:07:13]<mstenta[m]>(Although to be fair you may be the only one in Ireland using it haha)
[11:07:33]<symbioquine[m]>(so far)
[11:10:48]<FarmerEd[m]>symbioquine[m]: I'm trying to convince others.
[11:13:55]<FarmerEd[m]>Could be translated into Irish Farmerish but that would just replace all the words with profanities. 😁
[11:16:23]<mstenta[m]>lol
[11:16:51]<mstenta[m]>I feel like that transcends all languages
[11:18:17]<symbioquine[m]>ACTION uploaded an image: (145KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/sLuKkAKskPY... >
[11:49:14]<FarmerEd[m]><mstenta[m]> "I feel like that transcends..." <- I suspect that is true.
[11:54:18]<FarmerEd[m]>There is only about 70,000 people who speak Irish daily.
[11:54:18]<FarmerEd[m]>There are 140,000 farmers though so farmOS as Gailge won't have a massive amount of potential clients.
[11:56:19]<FarmerEd[m]>Although Irish speakers would mostly be rural dwellers in small communities so a disproportionate amount may be farmers.
[11:58:38]<FarmerEd[m]>Of course I could just attempt translation for the 'craic' 😁
