Kernel

I'd planned to have the service migrated from the shared hosting to a real server by now, but I'm still struggling to make the code kernel more powerful. I successfully tested it with a 400.000 points dataset.

Editing geometries from processed results

I'm wondering how to provide some degree of flexibility to the results provided by the service. I've been working about providing a possibility to color polygons.

As XML is quite a human-readable computer data format, I believe it is possible to make some changes like <description> and color code  <color> elements. I don't think it's possible to edit geometries changing the XML text. It is necessary some GIS editor to modify geometries.

Probably I'll keep both XML and JSON file results when I have my own server. Although people prefer JSON for data interchange, I don't consider it human readable, that's why I want to provide both formats.

Update 28/05. After some attempts to edit clustering results, I noticed I was doing the same kind of editing in the first place, and been doing a few changes to the clustering process.

Starting up poinproc.com

It's being difficult to start operating the site, as it's not a good idea to host the website in a web farm and run the calculations on my computer. But it'll take some time until I get a server, either dedicated_or virtual.

Although Poinproc's still alpha, you can submit data if you want. Although the web sends me an e-mail when data is loaded, you'd have to wait a few days until I connect to the website.

I've developed the webpage with Microsoft's Webforms, I guess I should rewrite with MVC. But I've got other priorities by now, though I've been changing server controls for javascript . And there's the desktop application, it's able to perform some tasks already, but it's going to take long to wrap it up.

So I still have a lot of work pending, but as said, you are encouraged to prepare and upload your data if you wish to try some service, and it will help me with debugging.
