Do we need still need `JsHelper`?

I am unsure whether we still need the class de.terrestris.shogun.util.JsHelper.

Can this class be removed?

Provide a demo-mapclient

As discussed at the SHOGun BOF at FOSSGIS 2014 in Berlin we should offer a demo-mapclient based on current mapping libs in order to have an easy-to-use startingpoint for non-developers.
Due to license issues we should (as discussed) provide the client in a separate repository.

For the first step I suggest to provide a simple GeoExt2 client. Features can then be extended step by step.

Introduce inline Application model

Here an idea I have for an enhancement of SHOGun:

Since we merged the refactoring-branch, the application-context does not contain all information anymore which is needed to build a full webgis application. Therfore you have to make several requests to gather the complete information.
To improve this I would like to introduce an Application (JSON-) model which will not be persisted. Furthermore the information of this model will be derived by the data we already have associated to users, groups and roles. The application-data could be delivered by the application-context as a new element.
This could be an intermediate step having an application model without rewriting the database model and not breaking the existing projects build upon SHOGun.

Do you have any opinions on that or maybe reasons why this is not a good idea?

Change of license

We must get forward changing the license from GPL especially for the server-side stuff.

Me and @marcjansen suggest to move to 3-Clause BSD-License ("Revised BSD License", "New BSD License", or "Modified BSD License", see wikipedia, and opensource.org) as it it quite simple.

Steps to be done:

• every committer has to agree, that his/her code is switched to above license
• change of license header in the code

For the client all code must fall under the ExtJS license conditions.

For the future I'd prefer to divide SHOGun in SHOGun Server (3-clause BSD) and SHOGun Client (follow ExtJS License) in general and perhaps a switch away from ExtJS.

Steps for completion:

• Agreement of past contributors (according to https://github.com/terrestris/shogun/graphs/contributors):
  • @marcjansen
  • @chrismayer
  • @weskamm
  • @buehner
• Actually changing the license in the codebase, see #57
• Additionally we should make it even more explicit that for client code using ExtJS, Senchas licensing options apply (http://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/licensing), see #57
