Hey Tisham, I've been noticing your commits going by - really great work on this. I'm psyched to see better support for worldwind.
A couple ideas to take things a bit further, if you're interested. One thing that would be awesome is to make sure GeoWebCache works with WorldWind. It may work as a caching WMS already, but I'd be a bit surprised. Another route would be to make a worldwind service for GWC, like there is for google and bing (see http://geowebcache.org/docs/1.2.0/services/gmaps.html) It would output tiles in the exact format WorldWind expects. Maybe it's the same as another output, but even if it is having a named worldwind service would make it more obvious. The other idea would be to make a GUI plugin for WW Java. This could be similar to istyler - http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src/community/istyler/ Basically a preview page that's a plugin, with WW Java embedded. Ideally it would pre-populate the layers that are in GeoServer. This way people could see how easy it is to get their GeoServer data in to world wind. With your output formats and with GWC caching it could make things on worldwind quite fast. Keep up the great work, thanks for taking over the module, it's nice to see progress. Also, whenever you're ready we'd be happy to put a blog post up about it. best regards, Chris whatnick wrote: > Hi People, > > I have been working on the DDS and BIL format support to supply data to > WorldWind.
