Hello,

norulz commented 6 years ago

Hi, We were hoping to continue with the original name but the original developer wishes to keep the domain, the current grib server and and the software even thought he mentioned that he is not going to do anymore development. Therefore there was no option but to fork

xyGrib was never a real collaborative effort and we aim to change that and open it up for team work. As you see we are just beginning.

Hi,

norulz commented 6 years ago

You are correct about the road map. I have one drawn up and will post it here. The team is currently myself and 2-3 developers who are just coming aboard. Dominique who was active in zyGrib is also on board and helping with the French side of the website.

I have a degree in CS but have not coded C++ - Mainly Java and PHP. I started openSkiron and produce the openWRF gribs. I have quite deep knowledge in grib file handling. The other developers Oded and Offer are C++ developers but with limited experience in Qt. The third, Guy is a PHP web programmer who will focus on the server side. I will mainly try and hold it all together.

Regarding xyGrib or XyGrib. Again an issue with the previous developer who is not comfortable with the names being too close. I think we are fixed on XyGrib by now and I don't feel like redoing everything on the opengribs.orgs site right now.

XyGrib is fine too ;-)

I see two major improvements that could make a difference:

norulz commented 6 years ago

The very general roadmap is:

  1. Setup a grib subset server for several sources of large area gribs
  2. Implement the client side to pull down subsets (similar to the legacy GFS grib1 subset server at zyGrib.org)
  3. A second grib slot (like qtVlm) with switching or overlay of both for comparison
  4. Android and IOS versions (not too much thought given on this yet)
  5. Overlays of other data sources such as sat images and analysis maps

The bottom line is that a good viewer is only as good as the data it is give and also good data is only as good as the software that views it. The idea is to join the two - all free and open (data and software) with absolutely no commercialization even with Android and IOS.

Server is in "alpha" stage. Building of the data and the subset worker is more or less complete. Main work is now on the client to web interface and the web server to the subset worker.

I am considering using Celery for queuing and asynchronous jobs but I'm not sure if it is necessary. Still a bit of messing around needed. Do you have an opinion on this?

Not sure to understand what you are trying to achieve.

Why do you need to be asynchronous? Generating the GRIB file for a defined zone is CPU consuming? Because, it can generates the GRIB file on the fly. Anyway, Celery is a good tool.

I think the client should be XyGrib. Web interface is not usefull to me, and I think it is much more convenient to have downloader directly in XyGrib.

theeko74 commented 6 years ago

@norulz Can you confirm you plan to implement grib downloader for OpenWRF files (which I think there are really good ;-)) ?

norulz commented 6 years ago

Theeko74, Can you please contact me by mail on opengribs@gmail.com
