My idea is to set up new test<br>

write down the instructions in the process, and then repeate the process<br>

server.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Great. Both FixMyStreet and MapIt can use an install script to install themselves on a clean Debian/Ubuntu server, so if the server was just for them then we could use that. Otherwise it shouldn't be that many steps to do manually, depending on what web server, etc was being used on the server.</div><div><br></div><div>If you'd like to set up the test server whenever you're ready and let me know details, we can start to look at that.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
There are more accurate border data available from OpenStreetmap, but I<br>
am not sure they are consistent enough to be imported directly as I have<br>
not tested it for a long time. Migrating the service is priority one,<br>
updating the vektor data is priority two.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>The current <a href="http://mapit.nuug.no">mapit.nuug.no</a> uses OSM data, as I understand it? So we can continue to use that, just copied across, as you say, and then update from newer OSM data if it's changed. As you might know, we host a global MapIt of OSM data at <a href="http://global.mapit.mysociety.org/">http://global.mapit.mysociety.org/</a> so hopefully that's kept track of more recent boundaries.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">On a related node, would it be possible to get the mobile apps for<br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
fixmystreet also working in Norway without a lot of work? After all,<br>
the position is known when reporting aproblem, and thus it would be<br>
possible to figure out which installation to send to.... It seem like a<br>
waste to have separate apps for every installation of fixmystreet in the<br>
world. At the moment we only have Android apps here in Norway, and a<br>
iPhone app is requested regularly without us having anything to provide<br>
in that area.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The new site has better mobile layout, which is good anyway :) One issue is that we use different map tiles in the UK. The app would presumably need to be able to work out the right country/site from the co-ordinates gathered from GPS or location entered, so it could use the right map, send queries to the right server, and so on - that initial "which country am I in" is the main thing it would need to. Obviously there's translation as well. So I think it would be some amount of work - perhaps not loads, but not little either.</div><div><br></div><div>ATB,</div><div>Matthew </div></div></div></div>
