[OSM-dev] [GSoC] Mobile POI collector question

[Graham Jones]

Hi Linas,
GSoC projects have to be open soirce, so as long as you are allowed to
release IOS code under an open source licence it could qualify.
My personal preference would be for a cross platform application.  Have you
considered taking last year's mobile project and building on that to be a
finished product?
Your proposal will need to explain what you propose to do,  and why that
will be better than existing applications.
I look forward to seeing your proposal.  Please submit it as soon as
possible so that we have time to review it and ask questions if necessary.

Regards

Graham

Hi all,

my name is Linas Valiukas, I'm from Vilnius, Lithuania. I study
journalism here, but no worries, I was a programming nerd from day one
:)

So, question: which platform/framework would be the best for creating
a mobile POI collector? I don't think Qt Quick would do because it is
nowhere near mature on the iOS, and it would be nearly impossible to
follow "mobile design guidelines" as they differ between platforms. I
don't see how HTML+JS solutions (e.g. PhoneGap) could work well too.

So, my idea would be to go with the iOS platform only and create the
application for the iPhone/iPad/(whatever Apple comes up with in the
near future). iOS by far is the most active platform in terms of
application usage and has a huge user base.

Would the iOS-only application do as the GSoC proposal?
