Sounds like exciting work Brett. Looking forward to see it progress.
On particularly useful part of the developer guide is the process for
community modules:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/developer/policies/community-modules.html
Namely the requirements to move your module from community to
extension/core. Maybe a bit premature at this point but good stuff to know.
Best of luck with the development!
