Online Geometry Viewer Back-end

Online Geometry viewer for GSOC - 2018

Scope for GSoC 2018

We have been working on OGV for 5 years. It started with PHP and then was revamped to meteor.js (before it was cool). This year we want to focus on the backend of OGV, making sure it works properly, converts the models properly and basically finishing a version of OGV and launching it for the masses. So it's going to be a really exciting summer this year. We have arranged a list of features, bugs, and enhancements that we think should be handled this year and have put them (https://github.com/BRL-CAD/OGV-meteor/projects/1?fullscreen=true) here on github. These issues are arranged via priority, so you will get an idea about what you can include in your proposal for this summer.
