I've been reviewing and corresponding with Albert Valverde about his excellent patches to the Gdal driver (getting overviews working) and RasterSymbolizer (adding support for colorizing, working with individual bands, and nodata values, among other advancements).
I'd like to propose Alberto commit access to start a branch for his work. It looks feasible to begin pulling some of his changes into trunk soon (particularly the support for GDAL overviews which is working nicely, built upon Lucio's nice start), while review of best practices and approaches for colorization would be great from all of you. Artem can you be in touch with Alberto about commit access?
