The work on sis-referencing module will probably continue at a slower
pace now, since the most important functionalities (GML and WKT support,
EPSG geodetic dataset, coordinate operations) are there. Future work on
referencing include (no commitment about dates):
* More map projections.
* Referencing by identifiers (e.g. postal codes).
* Extension mechanism for custom CRS and operations.
* Geoidal heights and other kind of non-ellipsoidal heights (e.g.
"sigma-level").
* Continue implementation of Geospatial integrity of geoscience
software (GIGS) tests.
* Performance improvement in PassthroughOperation (may have a
significant impact on three- and four-dimensional operations).
* Automatic support of older GML schema.
* OGC temporal schema.
* Dynamic datum.
In parallel, I plan to shift more effort toward coverages (rasters),
especially:
* NetCDF
* GeoTIFF + Landsat (part of Google Summer of Code project).
* Required work in a new core/sis-coverage module needed for
supporting the above.
