Hey all,

Moving right along, I'm trying to outline the Data Storage system, that
is DataStore and its ilk. Could someone walk through the packages below
and answer my questions? [WARNING: For this work, my writeup will ignore
Catalog despite my recent emails on that subject.] 

        org.geotools.data
                => The javadoc example is sick:
                        line 1: new DataStore should give a dataStore
                        line 2: getSchema() is the method name
                        line last: spurious space in variable name
                        "bounds 2"
        
        org.geotools.data.collection
                *) How does this compare the memoryDataStore? 
                
        org.geotools.data.coverage.*
                *) Grids are still accessed through the
                GridCoverageExchange system? 
        
        org.geotools.data.crs
                *) Is this really functional? It seems to be a mix of
                deprecated referencing stuff and catalog stuff. 
                *) Is the catalog stuff still relevant given the
                existence of org.geotools.catalog? Can we remove the
                deprecated CRS stuff? Can we remove the catalog stuff?
        
        org.geotools.data.directory*
                *) Why is this in a plugin and not in geotools proper?
                It seems to be similar to collection.
                
        org.geotools.data.jdbc*
        
        org.geotools.data.memory
        
        org.geotools.data.ows
                *) Is this infrastructure for WMS and WFS, or is it
                something else?
                *) Why is this here and not in a plugin?
                *) How does this compare to the catalog based access?
                
        org.geotools.data.pickle
                *) What's this, a sandwich topping?
                
        org.geotools.data.property
                *) And this, a real-estate venture?
                
        org.geotools.data.store
                *) What's this about? 
                *) What is AbstractDataStore2? Can we deprecate one or
                are both needed? 
                
        org.geotools.data.view
                *) How does this compare to the use of the Query system
                directly on a data store?
