<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I reached out to Geoff Gatward who was the creator/original
maintainer (to my knowledge) of the old WXSVR-AU service.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've been doing some work on this over the past few days and
seem to have it operating again.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Is this a service everyone would be interested in returning
to service?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In terms of functionality for those who can't remember:</p>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li>Weather warnings from the BOM for
<ul>
<li>Severe Thunderstorm Warning<br>
</li>
<li>
<div>Road Weather Alert</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Flood Watch or Warning</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Severe Weather Warning</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Fire Weather Warning</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Sheep Weather Alert</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Bushwalker Weather Alert</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Frost Warning</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Cyclone Watch or Warning</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Fire Ban Advice</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Marine Wind Warning</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Brown Rot Advice</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Downy Mildew Advice</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Tsunami Threat Watch or Warnin</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Aviation Lightning Warning</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fire Incidents for VIC and NSW</li>
<li>Fire Danger Ratings for VIC<br>
</li>
<li>Fire Alerts & Community Warnings for NSW (VIC to come)</li>
<li>Marine warnings above only work for NSW, VIC, TAS and WA.
Nothing for QLD or NT as yet</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In terms of enhancements, I think we can improve with:</p>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li>Marine warnings for all states/territories</li>
<li>Fire incidents for all states/territories <span>(where we
can, agencies seem to have a mixture of quality data...)</span></li>
<li>Fire Alerts & Community Warnings for all
states/territories (where we can, agencies seem to have a
mixture of quality data...)<br>
</li>
<li>Fire Danger Ratings for all states/territories (as above
with fire alerts etc)</li>
<li>Ability to have WXBOT style functionality for Australia
(this would be cool for those on the road, especially on HF
APRS to get their local weather observations &
forecasts)</li>
<li>Once we have a working platform again, work with our iGate
operators to gate bulletins & alerts onto the network
where appropriate. This would involve configuring
appropriate filters to pass through (is this permitted
however?)<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are some challenges at the moment, the website for
WXSVR-AU is gone and Geoff is tracking down what he can. One
limit we have at the moment is a copy of the shapefiles. If
anyone has these on record somewhere, please let me know. I'd
very much appreciate a starting point to work with.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers & 73s,</p>
