Re: [udig-devel] GeoTools 2.4 and uDig 1.2 timescales

["Adrian Custer" <acuster@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Jody, all,

 

Be warned I can't participate in a conversation properly because I'm very badly connected for the moment.

 

Jody, you say 1.2 is planned against gt 2.5. Might you consider releasing 1.2 against 2.4? It would allow us to have one final release against the latest and greates simple feature geotools. I think for sanity and user future, it would be a good safety valve for everyone.

 

Regrardless, I'll be working against revision 26360 which was the last I was able to dowload and put into my local bzr repository. As an aside, bazaar has been a pleasure to work with from the get go although I'm really only starting with it. I suspect having local versioning would have avoided a lot of the junk floating around udig.

Hi Tom,

There is no timescale for the release you describe, the best information
I have gathered is here:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/2007+Q2

Which is for last quarter - it represents what is happening rather than
what we would like to happen. Right now Jesse and myself are booked up
on consulting work, I do keep shopping around for funding to release
uDig 1.1 (or make the release you describe). We are also trying to write
down the release process so other members of the community can make
releases.

If JDi Solutions has resources (time or money) we would love to talk to
you about a roadmap for uDig. Indeed I would like to sit down with
community members at FOSS4G and talk about what we can get done, and when.

There is a *lot* going on right now:
- uDig 1.1 needs to be released, the moment Jesse and I get a break or
funding
- uDig 1.2 will switch to GeoTools 2.5 in order to meet the development
needs of The Open Planning Project (who are working on some very
interesting WFS 1.1 support - with the support for GML3 that implys).
They have been kind enough to start organizing a code sprint at FOSS4G
around this topic.

It sounds like you have a deadline Tom. Right now the above Open
Planning Project is given absolute preference because they have opened
up a line of communications with Refractions (so we know what they are
up to), and they are placing developer resources onto the uDig project.

I would welcome the opportunity to talk to you and could arrange a
conference call if you are interested.

Cheers,
Jody
