That also sounds good. In this matter I want to trust you on what sounds 
good; and read your proposal when ready.

Here is my plan. Right now the instructions for making use of 
OnlineTests are not very good. And the codebase does not consistently 
make use of them.
Since you care about this problem I would love if you could write down 
what is reasonable so we can figure out what to do on this front.

So I would really like a proposal no matter what; that is GeoTools 
policy for build level changes. Notice I made a proposal last week for 
something that amounted to adding a bunch of profiles so you did not 
need to build unsupported modules.

Just so I am clear: if you are hoping to make your patch small enough to 
avoid writing a proposal - I am afraid I must disappoint you :-) It is 
the subject area you are working (namely something that effects several 
modules) that makes the need for a proposal clear. And also the need to 
update the developers guide.

Think of the proposal as summing up the email conversation we have had 
with Andrea.

Cheers,
Jody
