Rob, isn't it a little late for inclusion in beta1? I have no idea of what is needed to test it out (I know I asked Ben about that, but then due to pressure in other directions I passed the ball to Gabriel), and as you say you still have rough edges functionality wise. Afaik there is no public tutorial in the documentation, there is no UI, so even in the hypothesis that I include the application schema work in the build, how should I word the announcement? "And oh, we have this great complex feature and app schema mapping support, here is a sample data directory, good luck finding the files that do configure complex features among the rest, which is btw not documented since you're not supposed to mess with it". Jokes aside, in a release announcement I need a somewhat user presentable story and a simple tutorial that works. Today I'll be fixing the last jira issues and run all the CITE tests, so I won't have time to figure out how mapping works and make and example and a tutorial based on top of it. However, if you have been following the "road map update" mails you should know there will be a beta2 June 15 (http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Roadmap) so you should have time to fix the rough edges, make a little tutorial and provide us some hints of what is needed to include app schema support in a release. We have been asking updates from the app schema crowd in the last "roadmap update" mail and we got nothing back, so I don't feel like delaying the first beta because of this. Others may disagree, feedback welcomed (yes PSC members, I'm looking at you) http://www.nabble.com/road-map-update%2C-May-12%2C-09-td23509366.html#a23509366 Let me know Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
