Hi all,<br><br>I am not sure if this call was for interested people outside the PSC, but I would like to be involved in the planning and other tasks. So, you can count me in :-)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 4, 2012 at 11:17 AM, Stephen Woodbridge <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:woodbri@swoodbridge.com">woodbri@swoodbridge.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
This is a role call!<br>
Who is still on the list?<br>
Are you still interested in being involved?<br>
<br>
Since Anton has moved on and said he will no longer be working on pgRouting, I take this as a resignation form the PSC also. This means we need to elect an chair for the PSC.<br>
<br>
Daniel, I thought you were on the PSC!<br>

Hi Steve,<br>
<br>
Give me some more time to answer your email in detail. I won't forget<br>
about it.<br>
Well, I also hope to hear opinions and comments from others.<br>
<br>
I would actually like to know, who of the current PSC is still following<br>
pgRouting:<br>
<a href="http://www.pgrouting.org/development.html#project-steering-committe" target="_blank">http://www.pgrouting.org/<u></u>development.html#project-<u></u>steering-committe</a><br>
<br>
I think it's important that we have at least active PSC members.<br>
Active doesn't have to mean writing source code of course. Just a<br>
comment on the list from time to time, and maybe an answer to this email<br>
would be great ;-)<br>
<br>
Daniel<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
The recent up tick in list activity, code development, and interest<br>
that people have expressed toward getting involved is very exciting<br>
and has made be realize the we need more organization and some kind<br>
of plan on how to move forward. The PSC discussed this about a year<br>
ago, but we never got any critical mass and we had only one<br>
developer at the time that has since left to work on other projects.<br>
<br>
I happen to be on the Mapserver PSC and this is an excellent model<br>
for us to follow. I will will look at taking the Mapserver PSC<br>
process and see about editing that to be appropriate for pgRouting<br>
and circulate it for comment and eventually a vote.<br>
<br>
We already have a lot of documentation, wiki, git source<br>
respository, bug tracking in place.<br>
<br>
Daniel - When you have a chance please post a summary with links to<br>
the various assets.<br>
<br>
The areas where we need work (in no particular order) are:<br>
<br>
o test suite and automated testing (I recommend we look at what<br>
postGIS is using)<br>
<br>
o we have 2-4 part-time developers that are interest in work, so<br>
coordination these efforts will be key.<br>
<br>
o we have bugs and issues that need to be tracked down and fixed<br>
<br>
o we need to review and rewrite the plpgsql wrappers to be schema<br>
aware and standardize the APIs<br>
<br>
o we can always use more examples, and tutorials and the existing<br>
examples and tutorials may need to be updated to the newer versions<br>
of postgresql, postgis, and pgrouting<br>
<br>
o and we really need to look into make a new release.<br>
<br>
o I would like to get our documentation into something like<br>
restructured text and under version control so it is easy update the<br>
website and maintain documentation as it is reflected in the code<br>
<br>
o if there are people that are interested in translating<br>
documentation to local languages then we can look into setting up a<br>
way to manage that also.<br>
<br>
o I'm sure there are other things, so please add them to the list<br>
and I will summarize them on a wiki page.<br>
<br>
A lot of this stuff is researching and setting up a system and<br>
infrastructure to support it. After that we need to maintain it as<br>
we make changes to the code, but this should be minimal incremental<br>
effort once the infrastructure is in place.<br>
<br>
If you want to contribute, please let us know. In the meanwhile, we<br>
will try to move forward with this. I know both Daniel and I are<br>
busy working on the jobs that pay the bills, but I think we can both<br>
find enough time to get some of this organized and support anyone<br>
that has some time to contribute.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
-Steve<br>
