Dear all,

there was already some discussion in the list about GIS support for Pharo previously.

Working on CORMAS multi-agent simulation platform: https://github.com/cormas/cormas some developers feel the need to have more GIS support for Pharo.

I know of existing GIS software:

- GeoJSON by Zweidenker: https://github.com/zweidenker/GeoJSON

- ESRI ascii raster, done by Stephane recently: https://github.com/Ducasse/ESRI-ASCII-Raster

- shapefile support by Hernan: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~hernan/Shapes

(to be moved to github)

- I found this project also: http://www.squeaksource.com/gekon.html

I know that Etienne Delay is also interested by GIS support and propose to implement OpenGIS model support: https://github.com/cormas/cormas/issues/139

Can we try to unite and maybe create a pharo-GIS organization on github to federate our efforts?

Cheers,
