Thanks Jeroen, I will get the latest and do some testing. Makes perfect
sense why you have waited till now.

Hi All,
I am trying to add an extension to the ISO 19139 to Geonetwork but I have
realized that the current support within Geonetwork is 5 years old and does
not reflect the actual specification. I am about to upgrade it myself but
thought I would see if anyone is or has done this before. If so, how close
are you to a finished product? Will you be releasing it back into the open
source code?
All the required code is already in the CVS and we are about to make a first
alpha release. This includes a migration procedure to move from the old
19115 format to the 19139 based one. It also includes the OGC-CSW 2.0.1
implementation of catalogs based on the ISO application profile.
We have purposely not done intermediate updates to the standard over the
last years since this would take a lot of time without mayor benefits and
more complex upgrade procedures. (Also, the 19139 standard is close to final
for over two years now and we have been waiting for it for a long time
preventing us from implementing it at an earlier stage).
As for the actual upgrade, it seems to me that all I will need to do is
update the XML Schema and alter any XSL files so that they refer to the new
names for elements (it seems the structure is still very similar, if not the
same). Once this is done, I just need to add the extension fields to the
forms to support the extended version. However this all seems too easy. If
it was this easy surely someone would have done it by now. Please tell me
that I am not missing something here.
Have a close look at the code in the CVS and build the latest version if you
want to. That can save you a lot of time of which you may spent some in
helping us getting the release well tested 
Greetings,
Jeroen
