I have thought a bit about hosting a reference implementation, if we just host the server in read-only mode - all that is needed is a machine (which OSGeo has offered to provide). If we host WFS-T (say to pass CITE tests) we would also need the ability to reset the dataset after a test run. I was thinking we could make a demo page for "cite" that could reload the data, or a rest api endpoint.
But yeah the key impediment is someone to provide hardware, even with OSGeo's offer we then need someone to setup the machine. It has been really kind of first boundless and now GeoSolutions to provide a machine for the base maps shown on the geoserver.org website. -- Jody Garnett On Tue, 17 Sep 2019 at 14:34, Ilya Rosenfeld <ilya.s.rosenf...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jody - I’ve updated the copy to take emphasis off “reference > implementation” aspect of the message.
