   Dmitry, could you publically reply to this message indicating your
   willingness to follow RFC3?

      http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc3_commiters


I have read the commiter guidelines and try my best to follow them.
Also I can reply for this topics:

   For example, looking at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/search?q=bishop ,
   I see  :
   *
   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/attachment/ticket/3557/ogr_mi_vsil.patch
   make
   changes in the MITAB library, whose GDAL is a downstream. The usual
   process is
   to make sure that the changes are pushed first in upstream MITAB CVS


This is subject to discuss and some guidance is welcome.

   * http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4463 : internal'izing an
   external library
   is something to assess carefully. This introduces additionnal
   maintenance
   issues (security fixes, refresh policy&process, potential issues of
   symbol
   conflicts when an application link both to GDAL and the library, etc...)


The last release of libkml version 1.2 was on Feb 2010. The 1.3 version of libkml was announced on Mar 2010 but not released yet. There is a problem to get libkml v.1.3 for gdal users (http://code.google.com/p/libkml/issues/detail?id=173#c0). But I see, that it may be potential problems with maintenance. This is subject to discuss too.

Best regards,
       Dmitry
