UDIG needs to catch up our acceptance tests (listed against the 2.5.x 
page currently):
- feature events (for screen refresh)
- feature id (for correct identifiers when adding content to a WFS)
- aggregate functions for generation of useful summary information to 
use when creating styles
- referencing module is a mess from my perspective (makes sense since 
uDig was not around to drive requirements; now I pay the price in terms 
of clean up)

I have a bunch of possible work I am trying to land:
- TAB support (perhaps using a gdal/MITAB bridge)
- rendering optimization (and hopefully removal of hacks)
- an oracle datastore that makes external IDs available as Associations

And some work that interests me at a strategic level for UDIG (but I 
don't have funded work to help out):
- the technical debt needs to worked on
- SE 1.1 is a much better fit to uDig's needs than SLD 1.0 (infact it is 
exactly the split we need because we define the split in OWS-3)
- GMLDataStore - like can we do this?
- H2DataStore - Martin Davis has been thinking up mad plans and this may 
be a good hook to involve him in what we do
- H2DataStore has a much more organized base for creating new JDBCDataStores

For GeoTools I would like to see (most of these will not happen; but 
some may prove necessary):
- documentation (always documentation)
- creation of a datastore that is not limited to simple content
- the style factory / builder situation sorted out (SE 1.1 work is my 
best chance to do this)
- the MapContext API sorted out - brought in line with OWS Context is my 
best direction on this
- The FactorySPI story clean up and possibly replaced.

I probably missed a few things; is that enough to start with Andrea?
