Hi Alan:
So if I understand you this is a request for a new module (for a DataStore
supporting MongoDB). Sounds great!
Modules start out as unsupported; and go through a review process before
being accepted into the library for redistribution and so on. Unsupported
modules are deployed to the maven repository; and can be used by your
geoserver community module etc.
1) So first up - the procedure to create a new module is here:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/procedures/create.html
You have already started this one, as one of the instructions is to send an
email.
2) The next step is approval by a PMC - that would be me:
+1
3) I would like to ask you to review the developers guide, and email back
with any questions:
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/index.html
It should cover the difference between supported and unsupported, the
different branches (currently we have trunk/ and 2.7.x) and the various
coding conventions and so forth.
4) Next up I need to ask you to print out the PDF mentioned on this page;
and mail it to the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The details are
included in the PDF. You may also need to ask your employer to fill one in?
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/roles/commit.html
All the best, and welcome to GeoTools :-)
