[postgis-devel] PAGC Address Standardizer some thoughts on howtoorganize

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi Regina,

I'm fine with this.
I'm ok, with not supporting 9.0

So when all is said and done we will be able to:

CREATE EXTENSION address_standardizer;

Are you still planning to have the lex, gaz and rules data installable 
via a .sql file so people can load and modify the tables as they might need?

When you install postgis_tiger_geocoder that will install the 
address_standardizer and it's own private lex, gaz, and rules tables. Is 
this correct? Or will you just postgis_tiger_geocoder dependent on the 
address_standardizer extension?

Thanks,
   -Steve
