[R-sig-Geo] rgeos and Google Summer of Code

[Edzer Pebesma]

Colin, this looks very promising!

For some reason the r-forge pages don't show anymore how r-forge
packages can be installed. As they always did, I didn't bother to
remember. Could you tell us, so we can alpha test, and perhaps add this
to the rgeos page on r-forge? (Better would be someone repaired r-forge,
which seems to have broken layouts ever since the Vienna power crash)

Between myself and Roger Bivand we have made a good deal of progress and are very close to a point where the package will be usable (for the more adventurous). It is our goal to have a complete implementation of all GEOS functionality as well as replacement functions for gpclib (along with complete documentation and a vignette) by late august when the GSoC program ends.

If you are interested in using this package in the near term additional updates and examples will be posted to the blog as development continues.
