Ingres Geospatial Project
Ingres has spatial support since the mid-1990's through the spatial library, an Object Model Extension (OME) library. Unfortunately the code is the one piece of Ingres that isn't open source.
This project was created to replace the "old" spatial library with a new one.
To get involved, please join our Mailing list or visit the #ingres IRC channel
All bugs and tasks will be tracked in our bug tracker

Primary goals:
1) Make it easy for community to work with Ingres
2) Develop a new library that IS open source (GPLv2 license)
3) Reuse code from open source projects (such as GEOS for one example) and strengthen the OSGEO community
4) Ensure Ingres supports the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Simple Feature Specification for SQL
5) Ensure access layers such as OGR, FDO support Ingres (thus enabling applications to use Ingres as a spatial repository
Secondary goals:
1) Work with the community to develop a geospatial platform/distribution
2) Add new features and capabilities such as geocoding and routing.
3) Create import tools to allow easy migration from other RDBMSs
Feature listing:
Phase 1 is aimed for summer 2008
Phase 2 is aimed for fall 2008
Phase 3 is aimed for be 1st half 2009
Subsequent phases will come after
(this is just a very rough guide, more community involvement = faster/more likely to hit dates)
