Re: [udig-devel] Foss4G summary for me
|
You are correct Adrian. I meant them as possibilities but it
definately comes across as if they were decisions. That is what
happens when you are in a rush. Thanks for the correction.

Hi all,
I am on vacation for a week but I thought I would fire off a quick
summary of Foss4G for those who are interested:
Geotools a plan has been drafted to try to manage the forking that
has been taking place in that project (final approval will
naturally be a long time coming)
The Geotools code base is going to be split into a number of small
projects
The Geotools name will be used to describe the set of "Geotools
projects"
The first projects that will be created are:
Referencing Project
Metadata Project
Coverage Project
Main Project
The Referencing, Metadata and Coverage project will be maintained
by Geomatys and will have a Java 1.6 and Java 1.5 versions
The "Main" Project will be the current Geotools without the
Metadata and Referencing modules. It will depend on those modules.
As a result of this there will be 2 Coverage implementations to
choose from
Hey all,
This summary of Geotools happening is not quite right from what I
understand---in general, these were possibilities rather than
decisions.
Justin is crafting an email for the geotools-devel list to summarize
the discussion we had, the decisions we did take, and the decisions
we could not take without talking to the full geotools community.
Please note that nothing can change for a month or more until the
referencing layer of geotidy is finished. This leaves lots of time
for discussion and exploration of various solutions.
Also, while we have reached a possible plan for metadata and
referencing, we have not yet devised any plan for the coverage
module. The two coverage module situation may arise down the road
but is not yet a real issue. There *are* already two or three
implementations of coverage input/output classes since we don't yet
have a fully general interface leaving each to craft their own.
However, coverage itself appears still to be shared.
all the best,
--adrian
