Dear all, During the last month, we have developed an OGR driver for the Norwegian SOSI standard[1]. It has reached a state[2] where it can be used to read and use the basic features from SOSI files in OGR-enabled application like mapserver. The standard itself is the national standard for representation of geographic data. It is quite extensive, up to covering typographic settings for label placement - hence a full access to all features via OGR probably won't be possible anyway.
We would like to contribute the driver to the OGR library, and maybe have someone review the code from an OGR perspective. What is the best way to proceed? I could of course append some code to the ticket, but that doesn't seem to be a long-term solution. :) The driver is depending on an external library, FYBA[3] for reading (and eventually writing) SOSI files. That library is currently released as binary VC++ DLL only, but is written to support a variety of architectures. I have ported it to linux, and we are working on releasing the source code. Hopefully that'll just take some more time. Taking that into account, it worksforme on both Windows and Linux, and will be continuously extended in the near future. Where should I put the code and who wants to read it?
