[Marble-devel] Fwd: GSoC 2012 Marble Project

[Torsten Rahn]

Hi Ashish,

The ultimate aim would be that the tiles would get downloaded from a remote 
server automatically (like we do with the bitmap tiles right now).
This would be done by extending our existing framework for downloading data on 
the fly.

During the project you might start off by dealing with the local case first 
and then extend upon that.

Best Regards,
Torsten
