    22 === Phase 1 ===
    23  * Create Geometry-enabled fields and manager.  Status: complete as of r4788.
    24  * Allow for Geometry-enabled queries.  Status: complete as of r4788.
    25 
    26 === Phase 2 ===
    27  * '''Pending'''
    28    * Distance queries, calculations, and related utilities.  Status:
    29      * Robert Coup has contributed the excellent [http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/measure.py measure] module (in {{{django.contrib.gis.measure}}}), allowing for easy comparison of distances in a variety of formats (currently supported: feet, meters, yards, kilometers, miles, and nautical miles)
    30      * No support in the database API yet, but performing spatial queries using output from the [wiki:GEOSGeometry GEOS] {{{buffer()}}} function may tide you over until we implement full support.
    31    * Support for a mapping framework (''e.g.'', Google Maps/Earth, Yahoo Maps, MS Live, etc.)
    32      * Admin fields and forms (WKT field currently as of r4884, but we want widgets to view and manipulate geographic objects).
    33    * WMS views.
    34    * Add as much from the PostGIS API as possible.
    35  * '''Complete'''
    36    * PostGIS indexing capability.
    37    * 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].
    38      * {{{GEOSGeometry}}}: Wraps [http://geos.refractions.net/ro/doxygen_docs/html/classgeos_1_1geom_1_1Geometry.html GEOS geometries]; all accessed geometry fields are returned as {{{GEOSGeometry}}} instances.
    39    * 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]. 
    40      * {{{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()}}}).
    41      * {{{SpatialReference}}}: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRSpatialReference.html OGR Spatial Reference] objects, may be used to transform OGR geometries.
    42      * {{{DataSource}}}: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRDataSource.html OGR Data Source] objects, may be used to explore GDAL-supported data sources
    43    * As of r5529, there are utilities for importing vector data (''e.g.'', SHP files) directly into !GeoDjango models. 
    44      * 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].
    45    * As of r5657, "Lazy-Geometry" support was added (courtesy of Robert Coup's excellent patch in #4322) -- deprecating most of the  [wiki:GeoDjangoDatabaseAPI#ExtraInstanceMethods extra instance methods].
    46    * As of of r6497, the `GeoMixin` was completely deprecated.
    47 
    48 === Phase 3 ===
     22=== Pending Features ===
     23The following is a discussion of features we hope to implement in !GeoDjango.  Unless stated otherwise, features in this list are not prioritized.  If you have a pet feature you may accelerate its development by submitting code yourself.
     24 * Distance queries, calculations, and related utilities.  Status:
     25   * Robert Coup has contributed the excellent [http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/measure.py measure] module (in {{{django.contrib.gis.measure}}}), allowing for easy comparison of distances in a variety of formats (currently supported: feet, meters, yards, kilometers, miles, and nautical miles)
     26   * No support in the database API yet, but performing spatial queries using output from the [wiki:GEOSGeometry GEOS] {{{buffer()}}} function may tide you over until we implement full support.
     27 * Support for a mapping framework (''e.g.'', Google Maps/Earth, Yahoo Maps, MS Live, etc.)
     28   * Admin fields and forms (WKT field currently as of r4884, but we want widgets to view and manipulate geographic objects).
     29 * WMS views.
     30 * Add as much from the PostGIS API as possible.
    4931 * Support additional spatial databases, in the following order of priority.
    5032   * Oracle Spatial (spatial support is included in Oracle's Express Edition)
    … …  
    5436     * MySQL is last because its spatial offerings are not compliant with either the OGC and SQL/MM specifications.  Specifically, all operations are limited to the bounding boxes of the geometries.
    5537 * Geocoding framework.
     38=== Milestones ===
     39Significant !GeoDjango changesets are mentioned below:
     40 * r4851: Added PostGIS indexing capability.
     41 * r5008: Added a {{{ctypes}}} interface for [http://geos.refractions.net/ GEOS] in [source:django/branches/gis/django/contrib/gis/gdal django.contrib.gis.geos].
     42   * {{{GEOSGeometry}}}: Wraps [http://geos.refractions.net/ro/doxygen_docs/html/classgeos_1_1geom_1_1Geometry.html GEOS geometries]; all accessed geometry fields are returned as {{{GEOSGeometry}}} instances.
     43 * 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]. 
     44   * {{{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()}}}).
     45   * {{{SpatialReference}}}: Wraps [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/classOGRSpatialReference.html OGR Spatial Reference] objects, may be used to transform OGR geometries.

     47 * r5529: Added utilities for importing vector data (''e.g.'', SHP files) directly into !GeoDjango models. 
     48     * 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].
     49 * r5657: "Lazy-Geometry" support was added (courtesy of Robert Coup's excellent patch in #4322) -- deprecating most of the  [wiki:GeoDjangoDatabaseAPI#ExtraInstanceMethods extra instance methods].
