Hi

I completed my MSc thesis, that was performed with the co-supervision of 
Sergei Golubchik from Monty Program AB.

It's titled "Towards the universal spatial data model based indexing and 
its implementation in MySQL" which translates into doing a literature 
overview for R-tree based spatial indexes, GiST trees (Generalized 
Search Trees) and implementing them in MyISAM. The work is in progress!

In case you are interested in the algorithm details of these indexes:

* Current patches: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bw2cq2525zypi6m/patches.tar.gz

Many many thanks to Sergei for all his help and support :)

Regards
Vangelis
