archeos-gis review

[Luca Bezzi]

Hi Denis
1. GRASS 7 would be also my choice, let's work on it. Do you have a 
Virtual up and running with Jessie? For GRASS 7 in Jessie did you use 
the backport or did you compile it? In Theodoric I compiled it without 
problems, but note yet tried in Jessie
2. I would wait to see if we can really replace Polygontool with at 
least ArcheoCAD. I tested Polygontool in a large-scale survay and it 
worked fine, but I just gave a try to ArcheoCAD and, despite it seems 
good, the first impression was that it was not possible to do really 
everything that was possible to do wiht PolygonTool. if I remember well, 
the main problem was the DB (I think there were no 2autofilling" option 
starting from fixed values recorded on the field). Did you ever tired 
it? I will do some more test. A simple option would be to maintain both 
of the option, packaging PolygonTool as a standalon application, and 
putting ArcheoCAD into archeos-qgis-plugin. Up to now I still do not 
remember what is the name of the third option. It is a software related 
with gvSIG, developed by Benjamin (but I never tested it so far).
3. I checked Spatialite-GUI when I reviewed the DB group. It is not a 
problem in Jessie. We have to update the archeos-meta (archeos-next 
branch) with it. I'll do it now
