Hello Gabriel,
Indeed, I thought of this as well and did hint at this option somewhere
but I guess it was lost in between embarrassing bickering that made up
most of the thread.
I like the idea, but I would like to avoid duplicating all of the CSW
module code.
My suggestion would be to separate all of the ISO metadata profile into
a separate module "gs-csw-iso" and downgrade this module to community
status (this shouldn't be a problem, as mentioned before, the current
implementation is actually too buggy to be considered a proper feature,
and the current maintainers of the CSW module are not familiar with it
themselves, as they admit).
The only thing I think that would still need to be duplicated is the
GenericRecordBuilder which is now used for both DC and ISO, but I had to
make considerable improvements to it to accommodate for the complexity
of the ISO scheme (for DC, the old version is sufficient).
I might still need to add a little hook here or there in the core CSW
extension, but hopefully that won't be a problem then.
Does this sound like a reasonable compromise/solution?
Kind Regards
Niels

Glanced at all the outstanding CSW extension pull requests.
It happens from time to time that a given extension has no official
maintainer, but it keeps being an extension because people might be
using it, right?
By the other hand, Niels is actively working on it but noone has the
time to review/approve all those PR's.
So, why not just either downgrade it to a community module (unlikely),
or create a separate comnunity module (does the NG postfix sound
familiar to anyone?) so that he can do his business and when done and
complies with all the requirements to upgrade to extension it can be a
drop-in replacement for the current CSW extension?
Happened before, probably just in geotools ( wfs-ng, jdbc-ng,
shapefile-ng? ), but I don't see why not, the project seems to be
really flexible in allowing community modules.
it just occurred to me. 2c.
