Greetings IDV users,
For a long time we have wanted to enable you the user community to
share the work that you have done in the IDV with other users. Up until
now we haven't had a good way to do that. However, that has changed.
We'd like to announce the IDV Community Resources area on our new
RAMADDA server:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/entry/show?entryid=f06d391c-c408-4f52-8902-56db07612ed3
RAMADDA is a new project at Unidata that provides a content management
system and publishing platform for earth science related materials.
The IDV Resources area is intended to be a place for users to upload
and share their IDV work (e.g., bundles, plugins, images, movies, etc)
with other members of the community. A number of you have already
provided us with bundles that others can use:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/entry/show?entryid=196cb40d-6cc9-4726-8285-3a7eea8bcb92
This area is now in the main IDV Catalog available through the Catalog
Chooser under "Example Bundles from the Unidata RAMADDA Server"
We'd like to encourage you to share your work. There is an anonymous
contributions area where you can upload bundles, plugins, color tables,
jython, etc:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/entry/show?entryid=bfc82cf9-8548-4393-af10-20ec2274ceb9
Please make sure to include your name and email in the description area
when you upload IDV resources.
We have also created a "Publisher" IDV plugin that allows you to
automatically publish products and bundles in the IDV directly to a
RAMADDA server:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/help/idvpublisher.html
Note: There might be some issues running this plugin with the recent
2.6u2 release but it works well with the latest nightly build.
And of course you can always send us your contributions at
support-idv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We hope that this can become a valuable resource for the IDV community
and we would appreciate your involvement in this effort.
Thanks!
The IDV development team
Jeff, Don and Yuan
