I will shortly have a new folder in my PAGC branch for postgresql that
contains all the required files and a PGXS Makefile. This should greatly
simplify releasing this as an extension or forking it into another
project. This code is already a fork of the PAGC code in spite of being
in the PAGC tree because I had to do major slash and burn to extract
this code into a standalone module that did not drag in all of PAGC.

I would like at some point (soon) fork the standardizer part of pagc and

install as part of the PostGIS build.
I'd like a vote on this (PSC, developers, and general users)
As discussed here
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/2193
As some folks have noticed, I've been working on changing the tiger geocoder
to use an alternative address standardizer which is part of the PAGC library
(MIT Licensed).
This unfortunately will require additional library compile in C, but the way
I have it structured, this piece is not mandatory to use the tiger geocoder
The logic to use as a drop in replacement is there but not documented since
still working out some kinks.
Steve Woodbridge broke out just the standardizer part as a postgresql
extension and was discussed
On postgis-users discussion a while back
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/postgis-users/2012-December/036019.html
The purpose is:
1)
The PAGC does generally a better job of standardizing than the built in
tiger geocoder one so will resolve many of complaints people have had
2) Provide a standardizer separate from tiger geocoder that we can reuse for
other PostGIS based geocoders
As such the standardizer will be documented in PostGIS documentation
describing how to build and enable in tiger geocoder
And how to use it separate from tiger geocoder.
3) Should be generally faster too once we work out some issues on how its
called and its ability to cache the C built standardizer object.
Thoughts, concerns
Thanks,
Regina
