[OSM-dev] OSM2PBF C-development, wanna participate tonight?

[Stefan de Konink]

Hi all,


I would like to invite anyone that would like to volunteer in osm2pbf 
c-development to join us for a tonight coding session. I suggest #osm2pbf

We will build the basic building blocks, analyse documentation, and 
hopefully compair output to osmosis, in speed and what it did produce. For 
starters we have fast parser, so we can completely focus on compliance.

Some stuff that has to be investigated is xz (lzma); so it can be included 
in pbf2osm as well.


If C is not your language of preference, but you can read Scott's 
documentation and/or the Osmosis Java implementation, documenting the 
format can be a good task as well. I'm thinking about a nice DFD or 
Flowchart.


You can reply in private, or just come by tonight. I guess around 19:00 
CET, would be a great moment to 'really' start, I'll try to have as much 
ready before.


Stefan
