Comment (by yellowcap):
I am aware that some of the code in the raster branch might be too high
level for Django core and am happy to discuss this. Here is a start:
''For the img property''
I kept the `img` property as part of it as this might be needed for
showing the raster in the admin interface.
''For the Tiler egine/utility''
I envisioned the Tiler engine to be the raster version of the LayerMapping
utility (see link below). For larger rasters, it is unpractical to load
them as one single raster, so in many use cases some sort of tiling will
be necessary. The tiler I wrote is very focused on creating tiles for TMS,
which is probably not general enough as a tiling utitlity. Still I think
something along those lines is necessary for loading large rasters from
files into a db.
