I'm finally all setup for development and testing. For obvious typos,
I'm just making edits to the docs project .txt files (and I'll post a
patch when I'm done). For things I'm not sure about, here's some
questions (this is about datastore.html):
1. Under "Definitions"**:
* FeatureID or FID - uniquely defines a Feature (row in our csv file)
* FeatureType - same as the name of the .csv file (ie. "locations"
for locations.csv)
* DataStore - assess all the FeatureTypes (.csv files) in a directory
* FeatureType or Schema - names of the columns and their types
Did you really mean to use the word "FeatureType" twice here? Or did you
mean "Feature" on the second bullet?
2. Under JavaCSVReader, in the <dependencies>, ${project.version} should
be ${geotools.version}, right?
3. "To be continued" -- your email said "One thing you could do is try
them out", but I'm not sure what you mean. You want me to try writing a
'main' that uses your CSVDataStore?

I was able to update the datastore.html page with links to the three
classes I have working.
One thing you could do is try them out; and ask questions (and I will
steal the answers for the documentation page).

Sorry they are renamed on my hard drive; here are the originals I

You asked where to help this is literally the last couple pages
for the docs; and I have been asking for a volunteer to work on
the content data store tutorial for a while now :-)
abstract data store tutorial (java property file)
.. is in the wiki under advanced; the wiki seems to be down :(
content data store tutorial ( csv files )
-
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/tutorial/advanced/datastore.html
Currently this is 1/2 done as it only does read-only.
I am having some computer issues so it may be a little bit before
I am back online :(

Not sure I understand. I don't see abstractdatastore nor
contentdatastore anywhere - neither in a doc/tutorial
directory nor in the modules/unsupported directory. Am I
looking in the wrong tree (you didn't answer my question about
working in trunk)? Or are you working on these locally and
have not committed anything to SVN yet?

There are two data store tutorials; both need help.
- abstractdatastore (this is first datatore tutorial; it has
more content; but I need to be sure the code compiles). I
will finish dragging the text over this evening.
- contentdatastore this is the replacement which has a
cleaner code base; but is read-only. I think some more work
is needed before we can do a good read/write support based on
it. By clean - it has way less methods and classes - and is
more configuration rather than subclass magic methods.

Re datastore tutorial: Questions:
- should I be working in trunk?
- I see /docs/user/tutorial/advanced/datastore.txt -- is
that the one
you're talking about?
- I see CSVDataStore.java (and others) also under
docs/src/main -- is
that the relevant java? How is that 'unsupported'? Just
trying to
understand the basics...
- I see the name 'jive' as the author in svn -- is that
you? Is there
a list of svn usernames somewhere?
Thanks,
Lee
