Hi PSC,<br>
<br>
Mikhail Gusev, one of our 2 GSoC student this year is about to submit a pull<br>
request for the initial part of his - good - work on Geography Network Model.<br>
See <a href="https://github.com/MikhanGusev/gdal/compare/OSGeo:trunk...trunk" target="_blank">https://github.com/MikhanGusev/gdal/compare/OSGeo:trunk...trunk</a><br>
<br>
This add a new set of API to the code base. Looking at our management rules<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc1_pmc" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc1_pmc</a> ("When is Vote Required?: [...] Adding<br>
substantial amounts of new code") and<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc3_commiters" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc3_commiters</a> ("larger changes will require a<br>
RFC approved by the PSC"), it seems it would imply writing a RFC. We don't<br>
generally do RFC for new drivers (that can add substantial amount of code), but<br>
technically, this is not really a new driver either. Any opinion on how to<br>
proceed on that matter ?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Even<br>
<br>
