I would push RTree into the spatialindex lib. If we ever get a C API for spatialindex, it would seem natural that we would redo native bindings with ctypes or pyrex or something and just distribute them with the library. > I suppose another option would be to lump everything together into one > repo and workspace, but I'm not fond of that one. > > Thoughts? > > I'm going to be between jobs from June 11 to July 1 and will have > plenty > of time to work on this.

Any chance to revisit the over generality of gispython.org during the transition? I don't know what we'd rebrand ourselves as. Do we have a really strong brand with gispython.org? I'm concerned that we've done the Python GIS community a bit of a disservice by branding ourselves "GIS Python", as if to mean all things GIS to Python, when in fact we're rather picky about what we let in :) Howard _______________________________________________ Community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gispython.org/mailman/listinfo/community
