Hi hans Are you planning to publish on github or can we do it? You use it daily on which system? S.

Would be an interesting project.. An old link to possibly still useful code:

Btw the shapefile support, from the ESRI spec, was done by me and is still available onhttp://www.squeaksource.com/@CUT95k_uXmPU4uXY/HCmgtrop <http://www.squeaksource.com/@CUT95k_uXmPU4uXY/HCmgtrop>. I use it daily. I may have some fixes/additions, but in general the code as provided works well (I suppose the code at smalltalkhub is still mostly the same). Some shapefile formats are still missing, mostly because I never encountered them.. To read a complete shapefile one also needs to read dbf files. This was another substantial efforthttp://www.squeaksource.com/@Y4HhnL90iyA2TmAb/X0sPqshM <http://www.squeaksource.com/@Y4HhnL90iyA2TmAb/X0sPqshM>; luckily there was an older implementation.available to build upon. Not sure whether nowadays there are other ways to read/write files old DBASE format files...

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 <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 <https://github.com/zweidenker/GeoJSON> - ESRI ascii raster, done by Stephane recently: https://github.com/Ducasse/ESRI-ASCII-Raster <https://github.com/Ducasse/ESRI-ASCII-Raster> - shapefile support by Hernan: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~hernan/Shapes <http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~hernan/Shapes> (to be moved to github) - I found this project also: http://www.squeaksource.com/gekon.html <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 <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?
