Hi all,
Over the last few months we have been under contract to develop a datastore
for the teradata spatial database. The work has been progressing well and I
feel that it is time to make the move to official status. So I would like to
move it out of unsupported. Going down the checklist:
* users
The module is seeing use as of now but that use isn't really visible in the
community yet. However part of the reason it is desired to move the module
to supported and get it released as part of the core project is so that td
users who are interested in spatial can start showing up here to get at the
code, ask questions on the users list, etc... so sort of a chicken and egg
thing here.
The contract in question also includes udig and geoserver as well, so that
should help to drive users as well.
* maintainer
We have a contract with teradata to continue to maintain the module. So for
the foreseeable future the module will have a maintainer, which is me
* test coverage
It passes most of the jdbc test suite which is quite extensive, so testing
should be good to go
* ip check
no code in that module that came from elsewhere, and all copyright headers
are in place
* documentation
Mike has been working on documentation for the datastore, and has some docs
written for geoserver:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/teradata/index.html
I can get him to coordinate with Jody to provide some gt docs as well.
Not sure what else there is... with the wiki gone i had a hard time finding
the gold star quality check...
Also, i hope to port the datastore back to the stable branch. But I will
start a different thread for that discussion as it involves getting some
core jdbc patches (all in all minor) backported to the stable branch as
well.
Thanks folks.
