Hey all, so the OSGeo people want summer of code rankings tomorrow. We
have a couple projects that are definitely in line with GeoServer, and a
couple more that we could take in the GS camp, as they show off nice
features, that we have potential mentors for at TOPP. Since time is
limited I'm just going to throw out a ranking, with a bit of
justification, so please email if there's any objection. Apologies for
the less than democratic process, I just want to be sure these get in,
but we should be able to tweak rankings if desired.
1. H2 database spatial indexing
This should be a really great geoserver capability, to ship with an
embedded spatial database so users can instantly start creating a map.
Though the core work isn't much in GeoServer I think it shouldn't take
too long and can continue on with integrating it in to GeoServer. And
few of these are core GeoServer, since it'd be hard to do that in a
summer. Mentor: David Winslow
2. GeoWebCache Improvements - REST API
We're moving to REST apis for configuration, and geowebcache is going to
be a core integrated part of GeoServer. And it tells a great story to
see this start from a summer of code project last year. Mentor: Arne Kepp
3. Vespucci Development - Creating a Collaborative Front End for GeoServer
This could be done as an OpenLayers project as well, but most of the
improvements are particular to features that GeoServer has, that might
not yet make sense to have in the general openlayers kit, so we can take
them here too. Mentor: Sebastian Benthall
4. Python spatial web application framework
This is one that I'm most excited about, but I think we might have to
rank it last, since it's not a core GeoServer project, though it should
show off some nice GeoServer capabilities. We have a good potential
mentor for it too, and I'm optimistic that we'll get all our choices.
Mentor: Whit Morris (he may not have claimed it yet, but he's willing)
best regards,
Chris
