Hi Pierre,<br><br>I am interested in WKT Raster because I think that having Raster support in PostGIS will be extremely powerful for server-based geoprocessing. I've developed a different cost-distance algorithm around the GP tools in Arc*, and would like to be able to support that in PostGIS. I like working on image processing and algorithm development, which is why I feel like I can contribute to WKT Raster, specifically.<br>
<br>As for projects that I'm involved in: I have contributed to the OpenLayers project in the past (I wrote the ArcXML format and ArcIMS layer). I am the mapping contributor to the Sourcemap.org project, which provides a way to open-source supply chains and make them transparent to consumers or designers. Lastly, I am currently working on a proprietary framework for viewing geographically aggregated data.<br>
<br>Hope that helps,<br>Zwarg<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 11:45 AM, Pierre Racine <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Pierre.Racine@sbf.ulaval.ca">Pierre.Racine@sbf.ulaval.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hello Pierre,<br>
<br>
I will take a look at the existing regression tests, and try to identify places
where tests could be added.<br>
<br>
Also, I'll take a look at Objective B03a, and see what that entails. I'll
ping you when I have more questions.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the direction -- I'm really excited to focus some energy at this.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<br>
<br>
I will be participating in the OSGeo code sprint in February, and I would
really like to help with the WKTRaster project in PostGIS.<br>
<br>
Where should I start to get up to speed with this project? Will any other
WKTRaster developers be at the code sprint?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
