Looking over the checklist of what it takes to a promote a community module:
http://docs.geoserver.org/2.0.x/en/developer/policies/community-modules.html#promoting-a-community-module It seems most are satisfied. However #1 begs the question if the module has any users yet? Although I am interested in using it so perhaps I can count as one :) However I think #3 (the module is stable) is of more concern. It seems kind of strange to release something as officially supported but with the caveat that the configuration will not be stable. Imo it would make more sense to let it live in community for a while until it gets a few more users and where there is a more stable idea of what the configuration will look like in the long term. And then officially move it. Anyways, I know I don't get a vote on this but thought I would throw in my $0.02. -Justin On 2/9/10 1:57 PM, Andrea Aime wrote: > Hi all, > today I've been adding the necessary unit testing to the > control flow module.
