Michael,
 
Best place to look for features not yet complete that we are looking to
complete is in our bug tracker.
 
Look for future or PostGIS 2.2.0

That said ST_LatitudeFromText / ST_LongitudeFromText don't know what that
was about, but I don't think there is a pressing request for it.  That is
not to say we wouldn't want such a feature
 
 
Thanks,

Hi all,

I'm interested in contributing a small bit to PostGIS as part of the
LocationTech code sprint
<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/locationtech-code-sprint-2014-tickets-126287940
63> .

It's amazing software that I use all the time, and I would love to help make
it (a little bit) better.

I noticed in the TODO document there was a desire for an ST_LatitudeFromText
and ST_LongitudeFromText.  It seems like a small feature I could easily
tackle.

Is this something that would be a valuable contribution?


Anything I should know as someone who hasn't contributed to PostGIS before?

I took a look at the DevWiki
<http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiMain> .  Are there any other
resources I should look at?  Are there any places in the PostGIS source code
that would serve as a good example of what conventions to follow?

Thanks,
Michael Maurizi
