If there's any libraries that could also work on the server (like the SGP4 stuff), it would be nice to have a UMD wrapper for those: https://github.com/umdjs/umd

It's super ugly, but in the end supports CommonJS (Node.js and Browserify), AMD (RequireJS), and older environments where those aren't available (no module loader, so it becomes defined in the global scope).

I wrote up a quick overview that hopefully helps: http://davidbcalhoun.com/2014/what-is-amd-commonjs-and-umd/

@reedobrien, check out this repo: https://github.com/koansys/sgp4lib

Might help you get on with this task!

Do we need global opsmode? See #163

reedobrien commented 10 years ago

Just need docco on twoline2rv.js and sgp4init.js and then we can promote it out of this repo.
