Hey Martin, I'm bumping this to geotools, as most all the raster guys
live there. You just missed a great IRC meeting on this stuff, which
is unfortunate, would have been good to have you there. But basically
people are just getting started on it. You can read up on the wiki:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Coverage+Support+Plans has
the plans, would be great if you could introduce there and what you're
interests are. Notes from the initial meetings are here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Kickoff+meeting+notes and the
full transcript is here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=29019
Martin D is looking for volunteers to help out on the GeoAPI interfaces,
and it would be just great if you guys could get involved in that. And
yes, java based access to gdal is definitely on everyone's minds.
Currently sounds like it may come by way of OSSIM first, but more
direct access should be nice. It sounds like there's enough interest
in having native java support for geotiff, for the cross platform
aspect of it. But yes, Simone and Alessio, Martin D, and Bryce are
leading the charge on coverage plans, would be great if you could join
them.
best regards,
Chris
