Very cool; from our standpoint it is *very* important to get you and your team happy; and contributing to GeoTools. Could you tell me a bit more about aspects of the library you are using? If you are going to be with us for a while it would be worth your while to become involved - especially if you are thinking of any of the unsupported modules (like oracle).
GeoTools has been considered unstable for most of its life (this feature model thing has really held us back). From my standpoint GeoTools is almost done; after this SimpleFeature thing there is only Style and MapContext to clean up and document. All the best, Jody PS.
