Good to here there is interest. I agree about that. The fact is that Too many java GIS are getting cloned and there are codebase changes of which no one can then keep the versions uptodate. I think it would be a good idea to join your team with our raster analysis part and our close relationship to GRASS. > When you talk about hydrogeomoprhic work, doesn't this explicitly > require a 3D data model?

At the present time we work mostly on superficial hydrology and geomorphology on 2D data, but we already gave a close look to the visad 2D and 3D data model (http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html), since sooner or later there will be the need of it. > On the Geotools side, Martin Desruisseaux is one of the best people for > scientific modeling/raster/georeferencing, Simone Giannecchini is > leading the push on improved raster technologies, and Jody Garnett has > been pushing the systematic development strategy.
