Folks,

I have a rough draft of an RFC on threadsafety in OGR written up at:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc16_ogr_reentrancy

The key items are TestCapability() mechanisms to ask which drivers
support threadsafety or at least reentrancy and the concept of create
layer clones primarily for their distinct "reader state".

Feedback welcome.  I'll call for a vote later this week if I don't hear
much.

Best regards,
--
