[postgis-devel] Contributing to PostGIS

[Michael Maurizi]

Hi all,

I'm interested in contributing a small bit to PostGIS as part of the
LocationTech
code sprint
<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/locationtech-code-sprint-2014-tickets-12628794063>
.

It's amazing software that I use all the time, and I would love to help
make it (a little bit) better.

I noticed in the TODO document there was a desire for an
ST_LatitudeFromText and ST_LongitudeFromText.  It seems like a small
feature I could easily tackle.
Is this something that would be a valuable contribution?

Anything I should know as someone who hasn't contributed to PostGIS before?

I took a look at the DevWiki
<http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiMain>.  Are there any other
resources I should look at?  Are there any places in the PostGIS source
code that would serve as a good example of what conventions to follow?

Thanks,
Michael Maurizi
