[Incubator] CoastalME community project application

Mon Aug 18 13:43:31 PDT 2025

 Hi Andres,

Let me try and find some examples.

When I read your quickstart, it is about checking out, building the library
and running some test cases?

Q: How do I use it for my own data?

For examples of other QuickStarts have a look at the OSGeo Live project,
there are several library examples:
https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html#geospatial-libraries

Q: Is it possible to download the library, or only check out and compile?

If downloading and wished to use the library, what do I need to do to use
it with my own data?

Q: For headers, you indicated it is done, where did you do the check? Is
there an issue in your issue tracker?

Here are some examples from other projects:

   -
   https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core/wiki/OSGeo-Community-Project-Requirements
   These folks used a commit hook to ensure headers applied
   - But your statement that you have checked is fine, for this
   requirement. I am just curious if you had a record of the work; perhaps you
   found some files to fix for example.
