<p>Hi all,<br>
I apologize in advance for my ignorance on this as I'm not an archaeologist; in this moment I'll try only to put some questions about this project. <br>
The first question is about the market "our" software will try to break: aren't any specifical webgis for this that can be adapted for our purposes? I think we could be in competition with other minor softwares present on the scene...</p>
<p>The other question is about the possibility to extend the software to comply with other countries/research team specification. Do you think will be possible to set up a full-purpose database with features that can be activated/deactivated on the fly to match the situation's requests?</p>
<p>Last but not least I propose, to start this project that could be hardly bound to archeos, to use our github space to host the code/issues/wiki. As usual the URL is <a href="https://github.com/archeos/">https://github.com/archeos/</a> just let me know...</p>
