    2626  Currently, I am not blocked with anything, though I am working with my mentor to get more input from the community on what specific conversion routines they would like to see.  My biggest goal for the next week is to evaluate what existing code and algorithms are out there that can be re-used in libgdal for this API.  Then I will begin testing for performance, etc.

     29  As many pointed out, GPL code is incompatible with the MIT/X license that gdal uses, so I will be unable to integrate existing code into this project. We did find an existing undocumented utility called gdal2ogr that was added to gdal in the 1.6 release.  Currently, it converts from a GDAL dataset to an OGR datasource.  It creates point, point25d, and polygons currently.  For this project, we're not as interested in complex polygons, but the point output was the first output type we planned to support.

     31  Moving forward, we are going to add a TIN type to this command and also add an API for this functionality to libgdal.  This week, I did some algorithm research and started coding.  Next week, I hope to have a prototype semi-functional and perhaps a completed design document for the additions.
