Chris,
I agree and will see what I can do to make it happen. If we want wider
adoption it may also be beneficial to see some kind of C/C++ access library
created for the format. In the past I always felt the FDO Provider was that
library, but the masses seem to be telling me I am wrong about

So, what's the next step on moving this domain into a position where we
can put it to conference use? (Thanks again for the use of it!)

How about an OGR driver for SDF? No need to invent a new API when one already
exists.

I think that was exactly Bob's point: There is already an FDO driver for
SDF. If OGR is sufficient, I'm not entirely sure why FDO wouldn't be by

Traian,
AFAIKU, that's the idea that triggered the debate
but it would be good if there is non-API specific library for SDF.
The the same library could be used by OGR, FDO, etc.
Cheers
I think many people have it backwards. SDF is basically a reference
implementation of the FDO API (or a significant subset thereof). It's not an
independent file format that happens to have an FDO driver. Any C++ API for SDF
would likely have to use FDO data structures and types underneath to

I think the foss4g.org domain has to be registered in
the OSGeo DNS. We haven't done this before, so we are
waiting for some input about
