Hi guys, I have a student that is about to do a 4 months intern with us. If we agree I can have him covering the missing guys. We already discussed with him about what he could work on.
We were thinking about two things mainly related to the Postgis datastore which would provide benefits for GeoTools but also uDig and GeoServer. 1> We have been talking during the last IRC to the possibility to adding hints to the geotools query interface for better control over the behaviour of the datastore. I talked with the guy about trying to work in this direction to add support for simplification for faster WMS support with big datasets. 2> There is one thing that I have been wondering about lately in order to improve support for Postgis. I talked about it with aaime last week. I have seen that inside Postgis svn for jdbc there are experiments for retrieving JTS objects directly or better Java2D objects. I think that beside what I stated in point 1 it would be really great to have for postgis an approach similar to the one that exists in uDig for shapefile. I am thinking about a specialized renderer that will avoid the chain pggeometry --> JTS -->Java2D shape. Me or better Alessio could mentor the student but we would be also hoping to get some help from Jesse Eichar who's the one responsible for the ShapeRenderer. What do you think, should I talk to him about this opportunity? I am sure that within tomorrow 2 pm (UTC+2) I will have an answer from him (yes or no).

If we can line up another student FAST, google may let us take on another project... Anyone know any hungry students?
