this was a note from slack. Not sure it all makes because we have already evolved so far but will put here as amo for documentation.
some things will live here
[ ] background_layers.sh is a bash script run on the command line and uses GDAL, bcdata, rio and wget to download spatial data layers from bc data catalogue, fwapg (https://features.hillcrestgeo.ca/fwa ), the hillcrest server (https://www.hillcrestgeo.ca/outgoing/fishpassage/data/bcfishpass/outputs/) and provincial government ftp site (links in script) and load to a geopackage. A watershed group or list of watershed groups is input by the user which is then processed to generate a bounding box query that downloads the layers. Datasets available on the BC Data Catalogue (reference) are downloaded with bcdata (Simon's) and can be customized by the user.
[ ] We should get references for all that software that we don't have yet. I added the zotero software folder to our shared zotero.
Other things to briefly summarize are
[ ] Setting up a Q project. background_layers.sh bit plus how we use a customized qlr file based on the one built for bcfishpass to style the Q project
[ ] how the standard government templates are populated to build value relations that can be used to build dropdown menus in Q that display in Mergin forms.
[ ] How standard government templates are imported to R and reverse engineered into spatial tables used as field form template ready for customization in Q. Intent is that collected data can be transfered back into provincial data submission templates while also collecting additional data (ex. curtis_culvert_id, data related to maintenance and climate issues).
[ ] how timestamps are used for fisheries information to tie field observations (channel/wetted widths, gradients) to physical locations by joining with timetracks run on handheld gps units in the field. Wondering if we can just use a line with one feature and add gps points as we go though. this is a whole nother ball of wax taht can transfer to an issue
[ ] how next steps include building of forms to collect FHAP (reference Slaney/whoever)
