[udig-devel] Community Development

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone here is todays batch of community announcements:

We have started:
- the community space in subversion: 
http://svn.geotools.org/udig/trunk/community/
- the community wiki space: 
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/COM/

Jesse has produced an Export to SLD plugin that is available there 
(something Chris Holmes requested yesterday).
-<http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/COM/Jesse>

I started a page to work on Exporting the Selected Features with Dave 
Sampson.
- 
<http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/COM/ExportSelectedFeatures>

The community page has a few more details on how we plan to use it, and 
how you can take part.

How to get plugins:

  1. Directly from subversion (source code)
  2. A zip file attached to one of these pages, unzip into your udig
     plugins directory
  3. (pending) From nightly builds (a udig-community.zip download)
  4. (pending) Straight from uDig via a Community Update site

I know Dave, Wendy and Magna already have subversion access, please feel 
free to make use of the facilities.

For those that would like to take part we will try and keep this as 
simple as possible:
   1. Set up your uDig development environment  (UDIG:Quickstart and 
UDIG:Project)
   2 Join the developer list and ask for svn access

The community page has additional instructions about setting up a 
subversion directory.
Note: We welcome direct contributions to the uDig code base as well. 
This community effort is meant to be a bit more informal and fun. You 
will see the core udig developers making use of the facilities to 
prototype and experiment (while still getting nightly builds and the 
ability to share interesting work).
