I think the best move may be to push and try and find Justin some funding.
The Spatialite thing seems a bit bass-ackwards - while I understand having to put your own customer first, I would like to see Justin's patch accepted - I hate watching projects getting forked in slow motion :( Were you able to get the details from Justin about spatialite support for GeoTools? I did point out the new copy of visual studio to Justin - so he would be in position to build his patches again (for win64 as well). -- Jody Garnett On Monday, 29 October 2012 at 3:49 PM, andrea antonello wrote: > Hi Jody, > > On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 5:53 AM, Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com > (mailto:jody.garn...@gmail.com)> wrote: > > There has been a couple of interesting developments in the OGC space over > > the last couple of weeks. > > > > 1) First up the OGC has been seriously kicked around by the > > standa...@osgeo.org (mailto:standa...@osgeo.org) email list, mostly over an > > area of shared passion (REST > > and GeoJson). > > > > 2) As a result it looks like Carl Reed from the OGC is communicating a bit > > more on the standa...@osgeo.org (mailto:standa...@osgeo.org) email list, > > and came up with this a couple > > of days ago: > > - http://spatialnews.geocomm.com/dailynews/2012/oct/25/news3.html > > > > What this amounts to (in the words of Frank and Raj) is: > > SQLite/Spatialite/Rasterlite databases for vectors, tiles and raster with > > rasters formed up into a WMTS style image pyramid. > > > > Frankly that would rock out, and give us a more useful bundle then a > > directory of shape files / rasters to punt around. > > > > > I am quite aware of that and in touch with the developer since when > the word rasterlite first came to my ears (two years ago). > I will meet the developer (who will be giving a talk about this) in a > couple of weeks in Italy. > > It is also the reason of my concerns about spatialite libraries and 64 > bit windows.
