[gdal-dev] GDAL 2.0 plans/schedule ?

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

As I'll give a talk about GDAL 2.0 at FOSS4G-NA next month, I'm curious to 
know if folks have things in their queue for 2.0 that they would wish to be 
mentionned, or more generally they want to discuss here so that we have a 
better picture of what is going on.

As fas as I'm concerned, beyond the already adopted or to-be adopted RFCs, 
I've at least the following points in my queue :
- work on OGR transactions at dataset level rather than at layer level (RFC)
- improvements in a few OGR drivers regarding FID management/options.
- performance improvements in the GDAL block cache w.r.t multithreading
- (to be confirmed) improvements in the JP2OpenJPEG driver regarding compliance 
with Inspire ortho-imagery technical guidelines and some more general purpose 
enhancements (support for alpha band in creation)
- (to be confirmed) addition of a OGR MongoDB driver (loosely derived from the 
existing out-of-tree contribution with significant rework)

I was thinking for a 2.0 beta1 at the end of April. Opinions ?

There have been a few IRC project meetings in the past ( 
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GovernanceAndCommunity ), mainly at the 
approach of release time. I was wondering if there is or will be a 
need/interest for that.
