Regions

[wilblack]

Here is the pull request that has an example for caching regions.

This is really nifty! How well tested is it at this point? Is it production ready?

Hi @grassick, I have been meaning to email you regarding this. Thanks for writing this software. It works great! I accidentally submitted the pull request to you so it is not production ready at the moment, it was a first stab to see if it would work.
I am doing this work for the company I work for, Point97 http://pointnineseven.com/, we would like to integrate it with Enketo (https://github.com/enketo/enketo-core) which is an open source offline survey tool. Our use case is to allow users to cache a pre-determined set of tiles while online so they can conduct geo-spatial surveys while offline. I could not find any licensing you put on this. Do you see any licensing issues with this if we keep everything open source?

If there are no issues I will continue working on this and submit a production ready pull request in the future.

Hi Wil,

Thanks for your work on this! The lack of licensing is just an oversight.
I'd be happy to put GPLv3 or LGPLv3 on it, depending on your needs. Does
that work?

Let me know when it's ready and I'll merge it in.

Point97 looks interesting... we actually have our own offline survey engine
for mWater, as we kept bumping up against XForms limits.

Cheers,

Clayton

Thanks for the reply grassick. I think the LGPLv3 would be fine. I'll let you know when I get done with this, probably the end of the week.
On the formhub stuff, we are migrating away from our own surveys software to join the xForm community. Can I ask what limitation you were bumping into with xForms?

[grassick]

We wanted a higher level of abstraction for questions then what xforms
allows. For example, having an other option really feels to me like part of
one question, whereas with xforms, that needs to be two separate questions
linked with a condition. It also gave us the flexibility to build in some
easy to use conditions, in-question localization and a few other goodies.

You can have a play with it at http://formdesigner.mwater.co/ if you're
curious.

Best wishes,

Clayton
