Project continuation

[xivk]

Hi @altso great job on this library but you don't seem to maintain it currently. Would you be interested in giving me or the group maintaining NTS access to allow the continuation of this project. I want to:

• update it to latest .NET core.
• make sure we can also write MBtiles

I also maintain/co-maintain other geo libraries in the .NET space together with others:

• OsmSharp: https://github.com/osmsharp/
• Itinero: https://github.com/itinero/
• NTS: https://github.com/nettopologysuite

This is one of the missing pieces in the toolset, writing MBTiles using this project:

https://github.com/NetTopologySuite/NetTopologySuite.IO.VectorTiles

The only thing I would need is access to publish nuget pacakges.

We would obviously keep you as one of the authors! 👍

Hi @xivk, this project was designed to work on Windows Phones (RIP) and the code uses types from Windows.Graphics.Imaging, Windows.Storage.Streams, Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps namespaces. Not sure if all of these exist in .NET Core. It's probably easy to migrate to .NET Standard/Core types thought.

I just added MIT license, so you are free to use any code from this repo.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

Oh thanks for your quick response 👍 I would probably heavily refactor the code partially based on this code:

https://github.com/bertt/MBTiles

The goal, to consolidate everything in one package named MBTiles. The main thing I would need is access to publish the nuget package:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/MBTiles/

My username on nuget is also xivk.

I'm not comfortable giving you access to publish the nuget package. You will have to publish under a different name.
