hi all,

I'm developing a webapplication that let's user upload their point  
data and play with it.
It currently works with lat/long in a CSV with this format (eg:  
0.44, -79.9) but we find users with some of these also valid and  
acceptable ways to write geographic coordinates:

40:26:46N,79:56:55W
40:26:46.302N 79:56:55.903W
40°26'21"N 79°58'36"W
40d 26' 21" N 79d 58' 36" W
40.446195N 79.948862W
40.446195, -79.948862
40° 26.7717, -79° 56.93172

I'm aware that parsing and interpreting free-text coordinate  
descriptions is quite complex, maybe someone knows a script (or a  
remote service) that does a similar job?


It would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Pere

Paolo,

The problem is a volunteer manpower one.  There are definitely plans, it 
is just a matter of finding the time in which we can shut down and 
implement them.  I'm sorry that I can't give a better answer than that.  
If you have time you can devote to the effort, please join the SAC list, 
and we can get you up to date with all of the issues.  We would happily 
add another administrator of Trac if you have lots of familiarity with 
it (especially mod_python, mod_wsgi and sqlite{1,3} vs external db like 
pg).


Folks,

I have added a brief wiki topic on upgrade plans.  Tentatively Howard
and myself will attempt to do something tomorrow night.

  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Trac_Instances#Planned_Upgrade

It should be noted that there may be Trac unavailability for up to four
hours during the upgrade efforts.

Best regards,

If a pgsql dba is needed, I can step up to that.

Paolo,

I was experiencing slow transfer some time ago 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/383)

Currently, Trac loads bloody fast for me, in London,UK.
