A Curious Animal

Ptolemy goal is to build a good virtual globe SDK (open source project of course), easy to use and to extend by anyone.

The current version has some serious design problems and complex code which makes difficult to understand and extend for anyone who wants to contribute. Because this, recently Ptolemy project authors has started a period or re-foundation to build the project again from scratch.

The goal of re-foundation project are:

• Use a new working methodology (more agile).
• Improve the project documentation.
• Make a new implementation from scratch.

After that, we want to have a basic Virtual Globe SDK with a good design, implementation and documentation and, of course, stable enough to be used in any production environment :)

This way contributors will present their ideas, they will be discussed (using chat, email or Ptolemy group) and finally they will be briefly documented or explained and implemented.

In the next link you can follow the evolution of this amazing stage of the project: Ptolemy Refoundation.

As always you are welcome to participate actively.
