[Gdal-dev] Re: ruby examples?

[Charlie Savage]

Hi guys,

Let me know what issues you run into on the GDAL side since its not well 
tested (actually, its not tested at all!).  If you have the time (or 
anyone else out there), extending the test suite for GDAL would be 
great.  All I've been doing is porting the Python Unit tests to Ruby - 
its pretty easy, just a bit time consuming.  Anyway, I'd be happy to get 
any updated tests checked in and any issues that they turn up fixed.

On the other hand, the OGR and OSR bindings should work well and are 
well tested.

Thanks,

Charlie
