I certainly see the benefit, very interesting indeed. So this would be a new community module. Pushing it to a supported status would require a number of steps: - get unit testing level above a certain threshold (I think it's 50%, so not high) - have a stable maintainer (who will take care of the module in the future?) - sign the contributor agreement, otherwise we cannot redistribute it (I actually don't remember if we even accept it as a community module if you did not sign the contributor agreement) I'm looking forward to see this working wit GeoServer :-) Cheers Andrea -- Ing.
