[gdal-dev] Participating on gdal2tiles

[Mark Johnson]

You might also consider incorporating the mbtiles implementation of a fork
of gdal2tiles that can be found here:

https://github.com/mj10777/gdal2mbtiles

Here the goal was to also offer mbtiles as the output-format
- instead of a tiles-directory

It also offered options to use mbtiles as a source
- to create a tiles-directory

or

a tiles-directory to create a mbtiles file.

---
The created mbtiles file is based on the mbtiles-implementation of of the
Geopaparazzi (Android) project
- that also reads/creates mbtiles

https://github.com/geopaparazzi/geopaparazzi/wiki/mbtiles-Implementation

A major goal of this implementation was to avoid the creation of  duplicate
images inside the mbtiles file
- which, depending on the input files, could save a lot of space

The project itself was created so that the Geopaparazzi users could 'port'
their tiles-directories to mbtiles
- since the space needed on sdcard's for tiles-directories is very high and
slow

It was always the intention to incorporate this into gdal2tiles, but not
being a Python expert/fan, I was always hoping that someone could take this
over and maintain it.
