I can be productive for Django and contribute code that is suitable for the gis branch (I use my own branch - I'm not waiting on checkins), but it just helps if there is some loose plan of who is working on what.
Simply so that I and others don't end up writing patches for features that you/Jeremy are already working on, or for things that will be obsoleted or need significant rework due to design decisions that are already known about, but not communicated anywhere. For instance... > Utilities for importing vector and raster data (SHP files first) directly into Django models -- will be done with the forthcoming LayerMapping class. Great! I have code that does vector and raster importing, exporting, conversion from python using both gdal & ogr. How is "LayerMapping" envisaged to work? If I knew that, I could work on patches for supporting functionality. > Distance queries, calculations, and related utilities. As you said, being able to convert geometries to other SRS is a good thing. For projections using degrees we could use Vincenty's formula to calculate a geodesic distance in meters. Unit conversion is always handy as well. What other things do you have in mind, and what have you already started work on? Cheers!
