Hi Gabriel, Thank you very much for your reply and I look forward to working with you all and contributing to this very useful tool.
To answer to your question, I think its good to introduce ourselves to the community who we really are. I am Lim Goh, 4th year Computer Science student at University of Waterloo. Me along with 5 other students from University of Virgin Islands, University of Toronto and University of British Columbia got together through the UCOSP project to work on this team, which ultimately aims at adding support for Ingres into Geotools the same way it already does Oracle and PostGIS. We are mentored and guided by Andrew Ross from Ingres and we will be working with him, as well as all of you that is interested in what we are doing, very closely throughout the term on this project. For more about me and my team mates, please visit http://ucosp.wordpress.com/category/ingres/ for more details. In summary, we have Henry Chow and Anthony McCallum from UBC, Eva Wong from UofT, Sara Danaher from UVI, Xiaoxiao Li and me from UW. We expect to perform multiple check-ins for collaboration within our team. I think we are going to setup a separate duplicate repository of Geotools on the Ingres server and use a two-phase check-in process. In other words, we will send a patch to Geotools along with relevant documentations for review and commit. Right now we are still in the planning stage, and we will draw up a proposal outlining our design, plan, timeline estimation, etc and post onto this list, and hopefully someone will be able to tell us whether we are on the right track, and where we are making mistakes. So yes, we will be contributing the Ingres plugin to the GeoTools repository, and yes, I believe we will ask for commit rights to relevant nodes in the source tree in the future. We will keep everyone updated with our progress and thank you all for your help in advance.
