[OSGeo-Discuss] LAS library

[Zachary L. Stauber]

Hi All,
     I've got a question for the OSGeo board, whoever might like to answer 
this.  I've organized the New Mexico, USA chapter of OSGeo, and we have our 
own server which we have yet to put up any code or projects on yet 
(www.nmosgeo.org), because that was meant for things that we would develop in 
the future (after the chapter had been created), feeling like we wouldn't get 
anything we'd already done under the umbrella of an employer released 
outright.
     However my employer has just finally given their blessing to release the 
internal LAS file reader/writer library that we've been using to open source, 
most likely as LGPL.  The library was written by John Nipper, who also wrote 
the LAS v1.0/1.1 standard and it's written in Visual C++ 6.0, but it is 
rather vanilla (e.g., structs rather than objects whenever possible) and I'm 
sure it'll have python and C# hooks in there pretty quick once it's OS.
     My question is: rather than putting it straight on an SVN source server 
on our local site, I wanted to know if the OSGeo folks thought it would get 
more mileage if they hosted it on osgeo.org on their own source tree?  If not 
we'll do it.  But if OSGeo does, it they would control who has access to the 
SVN or CVS.  John isn't really interested in parenting it anymore.  Otherwise 
we'll host it on www.nmosgeo.org and I'll be parenting the SVN with the help 
of our webmaster, Karl Benedict.
