So what do you guys have for developers currently?

So far i can find:
- http://files.geomajas.org/maven/trunk/geomajas/docbook-devuserguide/html/master.html
This is indeed the "developers user guide", mentioning the general and back-end stuff. Each plug-in has it's own documentation though.

- http://www.geomajas.org/gis-development
This is a grouping page which contains links to all documentation for all plug-ins.


Just looking over that I have a couple questions:
- what is an InternalFeature?
In Geomajas we often make a distinction between the objects which are transferred over the network (the dto's) and the objects which are used internally within the framework. The InternalFeature is a representation of a feature as used inside the framework.

- How does FilterService work?
It mostly delegates to the Geotools stuff. One of the reasons for having something different is to make it more spring friendly (Geomajas is very spring oriented), and in some cases to have an API which is more practical, does some extra error handling, some improvements to play nicely with the rest of the framework etc.

It could be you have completely wrapped GeoTools and thus don't need a welcome page?
When extending the Geomajas back-end or developing plug-ins, you are almost certain to be using GeoTools in some way.

Pieter is working on the welcome page at this moment. I guess you will hear more from him soon.

Kind regards,
Joachim

Cool!

I was going through the user guide; and we have a "welcome" page for various projects; do you think you could write one for GeoMajas developers? The idea is to point out how to use GeoTools from inside your project and generally be friendly.

Do you think you could write something for GeoMajas?

Here is an example for people migrating from the OpenJump project:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/welcome/jump.html

Or making use of GeoTools from the uDig project:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/welcome/udig.html

The idea is from the uDig website I would link to this page.

I should also talk to you guys about getting more involved in the GeoTools project (as right now have been keeping our heads down and focused on releases; not have not done the best job of out reach).

Specifically I would like to ensure your team has someone comfortable with the core modules a bit more; with commit access incase you need a fix to meet a deadline. And in terms of risk; you should really have someone on the PMC - but thus far there has not been enough involvement to recommend anyone...

Me (Joachim Van der Auwera), and I am pretty sure Pieter Degraef and Jan De Moerloose also follow this list.
