<p><font size="2">Dear All,</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">Based on my recent travels and interactions with numerous
likely end-users of GeoNode, I now have a short list of several key
features/tweaks that have been requested. Most of them are in the area of
streamlining the content administration process. I figured it would be
good to send this out to have people comment on and have a record of it. I
have entered them into the roadmap on the google code site. They are as
follows:</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">Reworking data permission process:</font>
<ul type="disc">
<li><font size="2">Data permission's during upload</font><font size="2"> -

specifically requested)</font>
<ul type="disc">
<li><font size="2">Upload csv, excel file - <a

</font>
<li><font size="2">Querying and viewing of attribute data - <a

<br>
<font size="2">There were also requests to expand types of files that
could be uploaded, however some of them seem to be lower priority. (All of
these file types are within the GDAL library).</font><br>
<font size="2">- KML files - <a
href="http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=27&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category">http://code.google.com/p/geonode-roadmap/issues/detail?id=27&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20category</a></font><br>
<font size="2">- Mapinfo TAB, MIF, MID file types. </font><br>
<font size="2">- AutoCAD .dxf files. This would require being able to
georeference them in the system as I do not believe .dxf comes with
spatial reference or projection data</font><br>
