60 To the best of my knowledge, all the weather related programs currently
61 available for Linux are either very simple and provide little
62 meteorological information or are huge, ancient, or proprietary beasts
63 created for the National Weather Service. AWeather is made to fill the
64 gap by providing lots of weather information while still using standard
65 free software practices. As such, the research focus of this software
66 is weather, not creative way to write software.
69 <h2>Intended Features</h2>

130 <dd>AWeather 0.2.3 (maintenance release).<br/>
131 Added a Application menu entry and a few build/runtime fixes.</dd>
134 <dd>The source repository has been migrated to Git. A lot of
135 progress is being made on libgis, which is now able to display
136 a virtual globe using data from NASA servers.</dd>

240 <h2>Building AWeather</h2>
241 <p class="note">See the <a href="code/projects/aweather/wiki/Install">install</a> wiki page for more details</p>
243 <li>AWeather has direct dependencies on Grits, and RSL, among other things.</li>
244 <li>Currently building AWeather will require the exact same version of
245 Grits to be installed, but this may change in the near future as
246 the software stabilizes.</li>
249 <h2>Architecture Overview</h2>
251 <li>Built on top of GObject and GTK+</li>
252 <li>Uses the Grits "Virtual Globe" library for much of the graphics work.<br />
253 Grits also provides some other generic functionality and a plugin API.</li>
254 <li>AWeather itself is a front-end for grits along with a
255 bundle of weather related plugins.</li>
259 <% void print_grits(void) { %>
261 <p>Grits is a Virtual Globe library developed along side AWeather, but
262 can be used by other programs as well.</p>
263 <p>It is differentiated from other Virtual Globes such as Google Earth,
264 NASA World Wind, and KDE Marble in that it is developed as a library
265 that is used by other programs, such as AWeather, rather than
266 providing a user interface that is used directly.</p>

301 AWeather is designed to be an advanced weather program which is
302 designed to be used by weather enthusiasts. AWeather is not
303 another weather dockapp that simply displays a pre-computed
304 forecast. It is designed to be an easy to use program that
305 integrates a variety of weather data in simple unified
306 interface; see features for more details.
