GSoC/2014

 You can also look at accepted GRASS GSoC [wiki:GSoC projects from previous years] for an idea of scope.''
 
-''Some bigger ideas may have their own pages, so you can link them here. The pages can be either independent if the page already exists (e.g. `wxGUIDevelopment/SingleWindow`), or more preferably supbages of this page if the idea is (re-)developed for this GSoC. In the later case, use the word "idea" in the page name to distinguish the idea page (e.g. `GSoC/2014/WebGRASSIdea`) from the possible student project page (e.g. `GSoC/2014/WebGRASS`).''

-=== Web-based GUI for GRASS GIS ===
-
-
-This idea will consist in building a web application "WebGRASS" which allows to run GRASS modules on modern browsers. [[BR]]
-The user interface for WebGRASS will be built using [http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt Wt] , Web Toolkit .[[BR]]
-WT provides C++ API and python bindings (available on [https://github.com/wdu/pywt github]) for developing web widgets. [[BR]]
-Each grass module is described by an XML file generated the module's  ''--interface-description'' parameter, the xml file is then parsed to generate the Module Form interface. [[BR]]
-Parsing of the xml file and generating tokens is already available in GRASS GIS. [[BR]]
-
-The main User Interface will be composed by : 
- * Auth-module (user log-in)
- * mapset-location wizard
- * map canvas (based on openlayers)
- * menu bar with same layout of grass desktop
- * toolbar with:
-    - pan
-    - query
-    - zoom in - out - to bbox - to layer -  to region
-    - save to img mapcanvas
-    - save display extent to region
-    
- * Command line prompt (a GRASS shell based on IPython Notebook)
-
-'''Security concerns'''
-
-By default Web-GRASS is designed to allow access to trusted users. [[BR]]
-Each user will be an UNIX user on the server with his own home. [[BR]] 
-The web-grass UI interface will be accessible through an opportune registration/auth/login framework.[[BR]]
-The communication over the network will be encrypted using HTTPS.[[BR]]
-The imput parameters will be parsed and sanitized, this will be part of the UI itself, based on the [http://grass.osgeo.org/programming7/gislib_cmdline_parsing.html GRASS command-line parsing] [[BR]]
-Will be choice of deployment team to decide to adopt any 'Extra security layer'.  This can  be achieved using tools like :  
- * [https://www.docker.io/ docker]
- * [https://linuxcontainers.org/ lxc] 
- * [http://supervisord.org/ supervisors]
