No but many geotools developers work on GeoAPI (an OGC project). Also 
code that uses GeoTools do have a certificate - GeoServer passes 
certification tests. Note that OGC is has defined tests for servers, so 
it is really our only opportunity to certify.

Community process decides, usually a new version is based on  either a)  
a project wanting a stable release  b) an RnD project finishing up and 
wanting to merge on to trunk. You can see both of these in action right 
now, GeoTools 2.2 will go out when uDig 1.1 is ready, and GeoTools 2.3 
will go out when the GridCoverage RnD branch is finished merging to trunk.
> 3- Do the geotools support the 3D model?
You can have ordinates of as many dimensions as you can handle (temporal 
is popular), the topology classes we use right now are focused on 2d 
topology, but we are setting up a new set of topology implementations 
behind an GeoAPI interface if you care to pitch in.

I trust your questions was more concerned about display? As a library we 
help you hack data. Renderers exist to take your data and render it 
nicely, an OpenGL rendering is something that has been considered before 
(one of the Google Summer of Code proposals was in this direction).
> 4- Can the geotools connect to SQLSERVER?
I think so, but as it does not have spatial functions what is the point? 
I think you may be able to hold spatial data in there but without 
spatial indexing performance will always suck. Please correct me if I am 
wrong. If you want to use it right now you can use the "Geometryless" 
datastore, which will let you hold points in an x and y column.
> 5- Can we get architectural document of geotools from you?
The Developers Guide is a good place to start, it has the big picture of 
how the library is structured. For a "data" dictionary you will need to 
review the OGC specifications (writing less docs is the main reason for 
a developer to implement those specifications after all).

I would love funding to work on such a document ;-) Seriously just 
review the developers guide section on architecture and ask questions on 
the devel list - you questions can help revise the document. Note Acust 
(and myself) are working on a user guide right now and more people 
around to help with QA the better.
