Toronto Code Sprint 2009 : The Need for Speed...

Performance is the universal feature, and the latest Geoserver vs Mapserver results indicate that there are places throughout the C stack that can use improvement.

Proj4

Run Mapserver under load and review where Proj4 takes a hit (everywhere)
Caching of PJ structs, Should make QGIS and Mapserver faster.
Possibility of a new/simple API + optimized database sitting on top of PROJ4 to replace current init files and address some performance issues as well as allowing lookup of additional information such as axis order of a given SRS (required for WMS 1.3.0 and other OGC specs)
bring epsgaxis axis flipping behavior into proj4 proper

Mapserver

Run the Geoserver benchmark tests under profiler and review results
Single-pass querying, will bring WFS speed up to par
Mapserver as Apache module, removes FastCGI instability and is potentially even faster, see #2565
Roadmap for 6.0
XML Mapfiles (#2872)
coordinating and improving msautotest (what gets added, when, etc.)
WMS 1.3.0 (#473)
resolving msOWSDispatch (#2531)
support for ITEM data types for WFS server (#462)
Discuss issue of Hiding/enabling/ignoring layers in OGC Web Services (see Trac wiki page)
Discuss coordinate axis order for WFS 1.1.0 (#2899)

GDAL

?

PostGIS

Roadmap for 1.5+
New on-disk format? Aligned double?
New GEOS coordinate sequence to bind on top of aligned PostGIS structures?
Profiling and review profile results

PostGIS WKT Raster

Discuss WKT Raster API, roadmap and funding
Importer/exporter (raster2pgsql.exe, PGAdmin extension, new Paul's GUI, driver for GDAL, SQL importer function)
Discuss WKT Raster and PostGIS web site, source integration and bug tracking.
Discuss GiST index.

GEOS

Administrivia, what to do without a full-time maintainer?
Roadmap for 3.2?

libLAS

Supporting inline streaming compression
Win64 builds
