Hello devs,
FYI I've created a repository in contrib with the basis of an
experimental spatial module [1].
There is also a design document I've started working on a couple of
weeks ago on the dev wiki [2].
The basic idea in one line is to be able to store and query geometries
(points, shapes, etc.) as first class XWiki properties.
It's very early support (it actually works only on a custom branch of
the SOLR API module for now) and I will continue to work on it in the
near future. I'm posting this so that if there are other committers or
contributors interested in the topic we can start a discussion.
