[OSM-dev] GSoC 17 : Refactor the DB schema for better usability on access patterns

[Tom Hughes]

Please note that there is considerable overlap between that project and 
some of the others, and I suspect the others have wider support.

In particular there is Paul's "Make the website use the API" project 
which clearly overlaps with it.

I think before time is spent on that project there needs to be a good 
consensus from the community that it is the correct approach or there is 
a risk of wasting effort on something that will never be used.

That project would also appear to require C++ skills (unless it is 
proposing to dump cgimap completely) which are not currently mentioned.
