We are referring to the org.geotools.*.coverage* packages in geotools 2.2 trunk

Moving to ISo is not going to be painful and we need something pretty
soon therefore for the moment the only way to go is working with and
on what we already have.
Bryce and Meghan from USFS Fire Lab came to NURC in Italy a couple of
days ago in order to start a closer collaboration with geotools and
geoserver. We basically came up with something like a todo list to for
rasters and WCS. Next days Bryce should send out a report on that.

We can do that

We want to do tath but we really would like to have the cverage part
separated from the rest since we are coding for the feature part as
well and we would like to keep different versions.

I agree, once Bryce send out the report we could talk a bit on that
but we would definitely work on a branch (caring for some to keep the
other parts, like features in sinch on our branch).
