Wow, it'd be awesome to have a group of people taking this on. After things get going there's one improvement you should definitely consider, and there's a chance we may get some funding to have Gabriel put some time in to this. Namely caching WFS. IMHO the WFS protocol isn't done quite right, as a naive client will make a new request on every pan and zoom. Which is silly, because most WFS's have no notion of generalization, so it's just returning the same exact features back every time. So a smart client could know that it has the full features, and not request them every time.
There's an OGC group working on 'geosynchronization', to have an RSS feed that notifies about changes to a WFS, so another WFS or a desktop client can synchronize against it. There's a public discussion list https://lists.opengeospatial.org/mailman/listinfo/geosync-public (I'm not sure if the spec itself is public yet though, but if anyone is interested I can probably get you access from OGC). So in an ideal architecture a WFS datastore could be configured against a WFS and its GeoSync feed, so that it can get the features once, store them in a local datastore, and then just check for changes. But even if the WFS doesn't have a geosync feed we could provide some syncing option to users, like periodic cron check outs, or the ability to manually update. Andrea's GSS module I think may have some good code to leverage for this, since the whole point of it is synchronization. C On 11/2/10 5:52 AM, Stefan A.
