Hi TurboGears community,

Summer of Code for 2009 ended today Highlights of the TG2 Geospatial
Project are:

GeoAlchemy
------------------
GeoAlchemy[1] is a sqlalchemy extension for spatial databases. It
provides an ORM layer for gis data using python / wsgi software.
GeoAlchemy-0.1 was released yesterday and has been receiving some
publicity[2]. A TG2 app using geoalchemy is hosted[3] for demo.

GeoAlchemy Datasource for FeatureServer
-------------------------------------------------------------
FeatureServer[4] is a python GIS server for storing, manipulating and
querying gis features in a variety of data backends using Web Feature
Service. A new datasource for featureserver has been written using
GeoAlchemy. This will allow web frameworks / applications using
sqlalchemy to make use of featureserver easily. The datasource has not
yet been contributed to featureserver but it can be used by importing
from tgext.geo.featureserver.

FeatureServer Controller for TG2
-----------------------------------------------
tgext.geo now has a FeatureServerController. The controller does two things
(a) processes config parameters from tg.config, and
(b) dispatches requests to featureserver using featureserver api.
A tutorial for using FS with tgext.geo and geoalchemy datasource is in
docs repo. A copy of this is in the geoalchemy docs[5] too.

I thank my mentor Mark Ramm and the entire TG community for their
support and encouragement.

regards
Sanjiv Singh
