Hi Simone,
Thanks. It would be great !
I think, too, it would be nice to give the users the choice between the 2
versions : the current GeoTiff support being the basis, and the other one an
advanced GeoTiff support ?
I've never digged in GeoServer code, so I don't think I could help this way,
but I could help for the documentation !
Cheers,
Jean
