Back in September I put out a GTSteering document with a couple of ideas on how we could improve our game to support the applications that make use of GeoTools. Some of those ideas came to a head today during the GeoServer meeting.
What I would like to do is have GeoServer trunk and uDig trunk track GeoTools trunk. GeoServer is the more important of these two for the following reasons: - the project is driving current development with WCS and OWS4 - it has a valued safety net in the form of CITE tests that may catch errors our own test cases do not To be fair uDig also has value: it is better at making performance, scalability and configuration problems quickly apparent. There are a couple things we can do to help this process along (if you all agree this is a worthwhile goal): - make scheduled releases off of trunk - repeat the process of creating the GTSteering document (ie planning and communication); possibly with a formal process for planning so this can be transparent There is also some difficulty with this idea in the short term; our library has some problems of scope with respect to the current feature model - although we can probably hack around and offer a smooth migration in this exact case - I am not sure we always will be able to do this. In such cases we will need to coordinate with applications such as uDig and GeoServer (as long as they are the ones driving the change this should be fine, and if we have monthly releases they can stay behind for a couple weeks during any period of transition).
