[Shake-dev] ShakeMap 3.1 and EW shakemapfeed

[Peter Lombard]

Hi All,

Many of you have seen the announcement that ShakeMap 3.1 has been
released. One of the new features of this release is that it uses stations'
network code ("netid") for various things including assigning the map symbol
color. (In previous versions of ShakeMap, the station's "agency string"
(source in the XML) for assigining symbol colors.)

I will be working on a modification to the Earthworm program shakemapfeed so
that it can produce XML with the network code in addition to all the other
fields. I'll make this new shakemapfeed available through the usual Earthworm
distribution system.

Give me a few weeks for this; it shouldn't be a major code change, but I have
a few other things to do at the same time...

[Earthworm shakemapfeed is one way of producing XML input data for
ShakeMap. It is not required for ShakeMap operation.]

In the mean time, ShakeMap 3.1 should still work without the network code in
the input XML, for those who have installed it already. (Good work!)

If you have questions or comments about Earthworm's shakemapfeed, let me
know. Please send questions about ShakeMap 3.1 to Bruce Worden
(cbworden at usgs.gov).
