Hi Nicolas,

This sounds GREAT!! Contributions are always welcome. So yes, I suggest 
we get you a community module. To do that you need:

1. a +1 from one PSC member, which you already have
2. version control access to the community space

To get version control all you need is to sign up for codehaus account here:

http://xircles.codehaus.org/signup

Then let one of the projects despots know your login id (myself or 
Andrea will do).

As for the dependency on the world wind java sdk... the way we typically 
handle dependencies is with maven, and do not store them in the version 
control repository itself. So two ways to proceed:

1. set your community module up with a maven pom which can build and 
download all the dependencies you need

or

2. include an INSTALL.txt which can explain for people how to download 
the dependencies and build the community module manually.

Looking the worldwind SDK, it seems there are some native dependencies 
so I think option 2 will be the easiest route for you... and you will 
not have to learn maven that way :).
