-   * Utilities for importing vector and raster data (SHP files first) directly into Django models -- will be done with the forthcoming {{{LayerMapping}}} class.
    * Add as much from the PostGIS API as possible.
    * Support for a mapping framework (e.g. Google Maps/Earth, Yahoo Maps, MS Live, etc.)

  * '''Complete'''
    * PostGIS indexing capability.
-   * As of r5008, added a GEOS wrapper object for geometry-enabled fields that call directly on GEOS routines (''e.g.'' {{{z.get_poly_geos().area}}}).  ''See'' [wiki:GeoDjangoDatabaseAPI#ExtraInstanceMethods Extra Instance Methods] section) 
+   * As of r5008, added a {{{ctypes}}} interface for [http://geos.refractions.net/ GEOS] in [source:django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/gdal django.contrib.gis.geos].
+     * {{{GEOSGeometry}}}: Wraps [http://geos.refractions.net/ro/doxygen_docs/html/classgeos_1_1geom_1_1Geometry.html GEOS geometries], may be accessed with an [wiki:GeoDjangoDatabaseAPI#ExtraInstanceMethods extra instance method] (''e.g.'', {{{z.get_poly_geos()}}}). 
+   * As of r5397, added a {{{ctypes}}} interface for [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_arch.html GDAL/OGR] in [source:django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/gdal django.contrib.gis.gdal].  
+     * {{{OGRGeometry}}}: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRGeometry.html OGR geometries], may be accessed with an extra instance method (''e.g.'', {{{z.get_poly_ogr()}}}).
+     * {{{SpatialReference}}}: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRSpatialReference.html OGR Spatial Reference] objects, may be used to transform OGR geometries.
+     * {{{DataSource}}}: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRDataSource.html OGR Data Source] objects, may be used to explore GDAL-supported data sources 
+   * As of r5529, there are utilities for importing vector data (''e.g.'', SHP files) directly into GeoDjango models.  
+     * The [source:django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/utils/LayerMapping.py LayerMapping] class will import vector data from GDAL-supported data sources.  This is still 'beta', and requires installation of the [wiki:GeoDjango#GDAL GDAL library].
