Thanks for mentioning it! Though I think I still want to post here my proposal like Steve did to receive some feedback. This is the first time I post here on the mailing list so, hi everyone! I'm Waldemar Quevedo from Guadalajara, Mexico. I look forward to participate on this year's GSoC with OSM. <div>

Steve,<br>
Thank you for putting together such a detailed proposal so early in the<br>
process. Please do add a summary of the proposal to the wiki, as there is<br>
only a very small section on potential mobile application development in it.<br>
<br>
For yours, and other potential students' benefit, please note that the<br>
actual application process (which does need the level of detail you include<br>
here!) is via the Google Summer of Code web site (once the application<br>
period opens on 29 March) - you do not apply directly to the organisation -<br>
Just to make sure you know!<br>
<br>
There has been some discussion about android mapping tools on the OSM talk<br>
mailing list over the last month or so - it could be worth checking through<br>
the archives to see if you have picked up issues raised there.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
<br>
Graham.<br>

<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
Sounds great. I had been thinkin about splitting geometries and tags to a pairs<br>
of tables (one with columns geometry and osm_id, another columns osm_id, key and<br>
value) but the hstore option seems to offer also an indexed access to all the<br>
tags. Obviously solution is not portable to Spatialite database, though.<br>
<br>
Any hope that somebody would compile a new osm2pgsql Windows version including<br>
the hstore option?<br>
