Dear Mats and Heiko,
Andrea is mostly right; however one correction: I do not mind at all
giving free email support for problems with installation and
configuration of the community modules (not for actual dev/depl work of
course). However, it is true that it is often necessary to ping me
specifically, unfortunately.
I can assure you that the modules do work, since they are in use by
several government departments (not all of them deployed by me). It is
definitely possible the documentation needs improvement, so it would be
great to hear the issues that others are having with it.
It would actually be in the interest of the current users if the modules
were used by more users, and they are very aware of that.
Kind Regards
Niels

Hi Friedrich!
I am afraid that the whole geoserver csw and metadata subsystems
seem broken (CSW-plugin, the CSW-ISO-plugin, meta-data plugin and
the INSPIRE plugin).
The part that is supported is the CSW core with Dublin Core records
only. The others are marked as unsupported for a reason :-)
Since it is a mix of supported and unsupported plugins, no one
seems able to even identify what needs to be done.
This is incorrect. There are plenty of people that could, but it would
require significant effort, more than can be spent answering a mail.
The ISO plugin was written by Niels Charlier on behalf of Boundless.
Boundless is no more, Niels showed no desire to get
involved with user support on the free channels... As a result, nobody
can give you the "5 minutes answer", the only type of
answer that you'll get on this list, or on stack overflow.
There are other options, but they involve spending money:
* Contact Niels and get a contract to solve your particular problem.
* Contact any commercial support provider
<http://geoserver.org/support/> involving a core developer. These
people can use part of the contract to get up to speed with the
module, and provide a fix. This would come with a significant
by-product, core developers _are_ answering on this list...
meaning you'll open the path for simple free answers in the
future. It does not have to be you, but there needs to be a seed
customer that triggers this process.
I have been struggling with this since summer, and I can tell you
this: Following the installation and configuring advice in the
manual does not work. Perhaps this is the error, and the plugins
actually do work. One cannot tell.
Another advice I got is that no one uses these extensions, which
may be why no one cares to fix them.
As far as I know, there is just one user (and guess who's providing
support and development to them?).
Same happens for the meta-data module.
Cheers
Andrea
