So, I don't think the GeoExt based layer preview has been discussed on this mailing list yet. If anyone was wondering about that, here is a bit more about it. GeoExt is a community effort to build a library of GUI components for use in browser-based GIS applications. It combines the ExtJS (http://extjs.com/) framework with OpenLayers for map visualization, and intends to use web mapping standards to create a toolkit that can be reused with all OGC-standards compliant servers; the focus is currently on WFS and WMS. One application that we at OpenGeo would like to create using GeoExt is a GeoExplorer: a generic WMS client that can simply be set up on a server alongside a WMS service and automatically configure itself with the layers, allowing the user to mix and match layers from the service at will, perform GetFeatureInfo queries, view legends, etc. >From GeoExplorer, a GeoServer preview application would be a minor customization, and, in our opinion, a nice addition to GeoServer. The customizations we had in mind were things like highlighting some of the more interesting output formats that GeoServer provides, automatically configuring the preview application for out-of-the-box interactive mapping, allowing the user to try out different GeoServer options like tiling and antialiasing. You can see our plans and design thoughts regarding these applications at http://projects.opengeo.org/geoext/wiki/GeoExplorer and http://projects.opengeo.org/geoext/wiki/apps/gspreview We welcome feedback. However, the actual coding has barely started for GeoExplorer, so the GeoServer preview is still some time off.
