Full disclosure, I am the maintainer of the CSS module and dislike YAML in any form and shape, so if you're wondering about my answer being biased, well, it probably is. Up to you to decide whether to ignore it, or not :-p Let's have a look at some factual bits: - The YSLD module is supposedly maintained, but you'll find no one of the people involved with it answering questions about it on this list (at least, not recently, I did not look that far back) - The language module history shows that most of the changes have been made in the last two years have been done as a side effect of some other change - There are pull requests made against the module that are months old, and being ignored, see https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/2076 , although there are also some being looked at, https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/2137 The module did not get replaced by CSS, if anything, it tried to play the opposite game (being the replacement for CSS), but without an active maintainership, it looks like it's falling a bit on the sidelines. One could also say that the code is "done", which would be at least partially fair (not fully, as the rendering engine changes, the authors should keep up with it), however this is not addressing the lack of user support. That said, one of the nice things about open source is that anyone interested in the future of the module can become maintainer, that is: - Answer questions about it on the lists (geotools and geoserver ones) - Look at the tickets and try to solve some (no expectation of ETA about them, more like "do something when you have time", but without having years in between of course) - Review pull requests about it, help keep the module working in face of large codebase changes, assist other developers trying to figure out how the module works Cheers Andrea == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
