In the proposal, I specified more elements: raster graphics, basic understanding of Well-Known-Binary-like formats, libpq, C (strong), C++ (basic). In my opinion, it's recommended that a candidate understand/know: - raster - band - pixel and how pixel type influences raster structure - recognize BIP, BIL and BSQ layouts - reading and parsing binary data in C/C++ - encode/decode raw binary data to/from hex in C/C++ - understand idea behind Well-Known-Text and Well-Known-Binary - understand basics of architecture of GDAL - understand basics of PostGIS - how to write good unit test for GDAL driver - how to use GDAL, PostgreSQL and PostGIS manuals and websites > What difficult level would you assign to the project? As I've explained, I'm unable to judge this aspect. > Oh, you may prefer to answer my other e-mail :-) Actually, I'd strongly encourage to discuss everything on public forum. As this is about GDAL driver, then gdal-dev is probably best place for discussing it.
