Make QRV (and ArcRV) handle Collections #88

So, the new warehouse has a great new feature. Collections. RV (RAVE) already allows viewing of multiple projects at once. We don't put limits on it, but if someone tries to do too much, GIS will obviously fall over.

Can we make RAVE aware (maybe not WebRAVE) collections, and have the ability to display multiple projects that are part of a collection?

Thoughts @philipbaileynar and @MattReimer? This could be particularly helpful from QRiS → to Warehouse → Client sharing Collection with → Client download to work with in QRV (not QRiS).

Is the question "Can we have QRV be aware of the warehouse collections and consume them somehow?"... potentially. This is a big project though as it requires tight API integration and syncing etc.

Or is the question "can QRV have it's own concept of collections that the user can curate"? Also yes but I'm not sure what this gets us.

I think this ties into a bigger conversation of how the RV products interact and integrate with the Warehouse. Presently they don't but we want them to be able to do things like download/upload projects and perform QA/QC at the very minimum. Something like Collection-awareness would need to be scoped on top of that.

Thanks @MattReimer. Maybe if what we're talking about right now for the Spring is a Warehouse 3.0 and RV 1.0 and QRiS 1.0 launch/release, the answer is collections are out of scope, but we keep this for a Milestone of Warehouse 3.1 and RV 1.1 and QRiS 1.1 (funding dependent). Another answer is, the user is free to package as many collections as they like in the Warehouse itself, but will not be able to do that in this release at QRiS or QRV.
