Hi

The mobile applications are all data collection tools which submit records via a Drupal website running an interface module.
The module is available at https://github.com/Indicia-Team/drupal- … obile_auth and it is documented at http://indicia-docs.readthedocs.org/en/ … bile-auth/

The mobile apps originating from BRC have either been developed by Natural Apptitude, http://www.natural-apptitude.co.uk/ or internally. A significant part of the code for our home made apps is on GitHub at https://github.com/Indicia-Team/morel and I would imagine there might be a willingness to collaborate further.

The Indicia code is written in PHP which is not great for writing a desktop app. There is a bit of work in the repository relating to a .Net client, https://github.com/Indicia-Team/dotnet and someone up in Scotland was up to something in .Net as well... here we are, http://forums.nbn.org.uk/viewtopic.php?id=4554

Hope that helps a bit,
Jim Bacon.

I haven't been terribly active with the thing I was doing but I picked it up this morning and had a look to see if the Indicia database is still floating around, and sure enough it appears to still be intact. The links in my previous post are well out of date and I'll need to transfer the UI over to something that works and will update when that's done. My plan is to set up something that can be used to display my photos on a map and I know there are plenty of things that already do that sort of stuff but it's always nice to have Yet Another Recording Interface...

Actually the interface probably isn't that much different from the butterfly atlas thing I've got at

note that this only works on a desktop at the minute and perhaps even only on certain browsers - IE 11, Chrome and Firefox all seem fine. Note you can drag the panels around as you can with a normal desktop application and I've also integrated the Ireland grid ref so if you move over Ireland with the mouse the grid and reported references automatically change.

Hope that's of some interest...
