[OpenSeaMap-develop] OpenLayers 3

[Gabriele R. <gab...@un...>]

Hi everyone,

if nobody objects, I intend to port the full screen map to open layers
3. Or has someone else already done this?

For many layers this is pretty simple. For other layers, it could pay
off to use a more modern setup for the integration. For example, the
harbour layer gets its information via a script from a database but the
return value is highly integrated with the functions that display it.

If we decouple this (e.g. by returning JSON information), we very likely
could get rid of much of the harbour-specific rendering code and let
generic openlayers 3  functionality do the (client-side) rendering (and
click handling and everything).

What's the general opinion on using openlayers 3? Are adaptations of the
layer processing realistic? How can I find out who is the maintainer of
which layer?

Cheers,
Gabi
