The sweeping scope and authoritative voice of the standards might lead one to believe that the implementations behind them use the full scope of each standard. I have discovered that this is not the case. Standards reflect aspirational goals and foresighted estimates. For example, I was not able to find anyone who implements WFS 2.0 remote resolve. > Hence, in order not to sound like unneeded critic, I wonder what should I do > as a community to help drive future versions of the spec. (1) Submit change requests. This is a simple online form. Submissions can be as long or as short as you like. All are given consideration. This is the easiest way for non-OGC-members to contribute to the development of standards: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/cr (2) If you are a member (individual or corporate), you can join Standards Working Groups as an observer, or even a charter member. Here is the page for the WFS/FES SWG (OGC login required): https://portal.opengeospatial.org/?m=projects&a=view&project_id=390 (3) Find an SWG member and persecute them mercilessly. :-) Coming from the open source community, the OGC interpretation of "open" is a culture shock.
