[mapguide-internals] [mapguide-users] Adding aCoordinateSystem to MGE/MGOS

[Jason Birch]

You might get a better response on fdo-internals to the architecture
questions...

There is no roadmap for OSGeo; it's a bazaar, not a cathedral :)  This
isn't necessarily a bad thing, but providing a non-technical overview of
the relationships and compatibility between projects is on the list of
"things to do".

Jason, is there some sort of "global" OSGeo roadmap on active projects
and code being shared among them? Like - what project depends on other
projects'
deadlines, common cores (i.e. FDO in MG), etc. I guess there's a
geospatial product manager somewhere at Autodesk who actively tracks
this :-) Otherwise there will be lots of inner branching and wheel
reinventing, but the purpose stays the same.

Frankly, lack of CRS support in FDO is still mistery to me :-) MG should
be able to detect and reuse any managed feature store's CRS, where
applicable (if not explicitly overriden by MG at feature source level).
This should also solve WMS/WFS troubles on WGS84 reprojection parameters
and envelope definition.

If I understood "FDO Futures" right, there's a plan to gradually switch
general FDO architecture to client/server? 

Regards,
Maksim Sestic
