Geospatial : Mid Term Report
Sanjiv Singh
As you are aware, mid term evaluation and survey has commenced since
July 6. As per the proposed timeline, GIS support is now added at the
ORM layer using GeoAlchemy. I am happy to state that PostGIS,
Spatialite and MySQL spatial are now supported in GeoAlchemy. A demo
TG2 app using GeoAlchemy and postgis can be seen at
http://geo.turbogears.org. The code has 90-95% coverage with a total
of 114 tests. I have been able to test them on Linux (all databases)
and OSX (thanks to ChrisP) using postgis only. I plan to add some
documentation soon.
In the next part of the project I will modify tgext.geo and
FeatureServer to use GeoAlchemy. However, if I find MapFish more
suitable, I will add it to MapFish instead. Before I finish I will add
tutorials illustrating their usage.
I have already completed the Student Midterm Survey at
socghop.appspot.com. I request Mark to kindly complete the Mentor
Survey so that I may get the payment on time ;)

Done. :)
I think the only thing I think we need to do at this point that's not
already on your list is to try to create some more visibility for this
project, as I think it's great stuff that's not just useful in the TG2
world! I'll try to help out with that some this weekend, and then
again during OSCON in a week and a half.

I will update the doc strings over the next few days. They we can drop
a line at sqlalchemy list asking for feedback / suggestions / ideas.
