Paid Opportunity
We are offering a fixed price of $2,500, to complete the work described in this issue, according to the terms of the BC Developers’ Exchange’s experimental procurement model, Code-with-us.
Here is how payment works
Background
In GeoServer WMS requests for KML output, you can specify that if more than a given number of features are to be returned, render them in a single GroundOverlay plus a point placemark for each feature. In the case of polygonal features, the placemark is located at the centroid of each polygon. These centroids can easily be beyond the BBOX specified in the WMS request in which case the returned placemarks are out of the current map view, leaving Google Earth and Cesium users with no way of seeing the non-spatial attributes of a polygon in the GroundOverlay.
Enhance GeoServer WMS KML output so that Point placemarks associated with a GroundOverlay are positioned within the BBOX of the WMS request. This could be implemented as a new KM option (e.g., kmplacemarkLocation:centroid or kmplacemarkLocation:roving) subject to approval by the GeoServer community.
The solution will also avoid duplicate labels where features appear in multiple adjacent tiles when creating tiled maps.
For more details of the work required, please visit the following GeoServer ticket:
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-8033
Acceptance Criteria
New KML output must match current, mapserver-based, physical address viewer (http://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/bcgov_physical_address_viewer.kml).
The solution will also avoid duplicate labels where features appear in multiple adjacent tiles when creating tiled maps.
The code must be submitted to the GeoServer project on GitHub and accepted into the core GeoServer product.
