<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Over the last year, members of the OSGeo FDO
Community within Autodesk<br>
have been informally musing on different ways in which the FDO API could<br>
be enhanced to make it more useable and developer friendly. In order to<br>
shine light on their efforts and open the discussions to all community<br>
members up for further debate and feedback, I will be uploaded a number<br>
of the resulting discussion papers and proposals to FDO Futures page<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoFutures">http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoFutures</a>.<br>
<br>
The first of these papers are as follows:<br>
<br>
FDO Connection Pooling -<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoConnectionPooling">http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoConnectionPooling</a><br>
FDO DateTime Comparison -<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoDateTimeCompare">http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoDateTimeCompare</a><br>
FDO DataValue Comparison -<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoDataValueCompare">http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoDataValueCompare</a><br>
FDO DataValue Type Conversion -<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoDataValueTypeConversion">http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoDataValueTypeConversion</a><br>
FDO Schema DeepCopy Support -<br>

Additional proposals and discussion papers will be added in the days to<br>
come.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
