Hi, following yesterday discussion during the GeoServer IRC meeting I've been looking into Jira for "New Feature", "Improvement" or "Task" issues that are scheduled for 1.7.2. Actually yesterdays we talked only about "New Feature", but since the issue type has not been used consistently in the past, I thought to expand a bit the search:
http://jira.codehaus.org/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-printable/temp/SearchRequest.html?fixfor=14681&type=4&type=2&type=3&type=5&pid=10311&resolution=-1&sorter/field=priority&sorter/order=DESC&tempMax=1000 Wow, there are 53. It's not like these are the real new features scheduled for 1.7.2, as being there is more of a side effect of having been scheduled by someone for some 1.6.x or 1.7.x release and have been moved forward ever since. So ok, the idea of the roadmap was to present a few compelling new features making up the theme of a release. Here is what I would like to see in 1.7.2 (but I have no funding for those atm, thought I could pour some of my personal time into some of these during the holidays should OpenGeo decide not to sponsor these directly): * http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2288 Directory datastore. This is an old issue actually, we looked into integrating that datastore in the past already (1.5.x something). The thin is that the datastore as it stands is not usable, but a rewrite is easy and I have some ideas coming togheter already. * http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-665 From the "I love low effort big gain" department, here is one that would multiply WFS output format count by 10 at the least and there is also a patch that could be used as a started * http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2296 This one is from "pain in the axe" ;-) department, I keep on hearing people asking for ECW support, and Frank at FOSS4G suggested a way out, but it requires rebuilding all of the GDAL native parts so that ECW is turned into a plugin. I guess this one would need some GeoSolutions work, so take it just as a Christmas wish, would you? :) * http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2433 This is almost done, so why not? * http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1783 This one I already coded, but requires a small change in the (sigh) unmantained refererencing subsystem. A small gift to all italian people getting crazy because GeoServer reprojects data 100m away only because it's using the Sardinia ellipsoid parameters whilst most of the data of course resides somewhere else * http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2386 This one I have already in progress as well, and it's a nice new one for people with huge data sets and a need to serve them with WFS Well, that's sort of my personal wish list out of those 53 issues (and as I said, I can probably sponsor personally one or two or these, the others need OpenGeo/someone else's get go) Anybody else?
