Andrea and myself have a talk lined up for FOSS4G … covering the “best” features of GeoServer in a “feature frenzy” 30 second sound bite format. This is to counteract our “State of GeoServer” talks - where we only get a look at what is new.
To help please answer the following questions:
What makes GeoServer great for you?
What feature do you always enable?
Is there an extension which totally made a project possible for your or a customer?
What surprised you when you first installed GeoServer?
What community module do you wish was part of GeoServer 2.6?
–
Open Source.
Integrated WMS/WFS
Data sources that it can use (particularly ArcSDE, PostGIS)
GUI admin
180 degree line handling
GWC integration
Cascaded WMS
ECQL
2. What feature do you always enable?
arcSDE
WPS
3. Is there an extension which totally made a project possible for your or a customer?
Not of current extensions. NetCDF and cross-layer filtering loom large in the future.
4. What surprised you when you first installed GeoServer?
rendering speed.
5. What community module do you wish was part of GeoServer 2.6?
Geoserver Printing Module.
Biggist issue with printing however is integrating google map layers used with geoserver layers.
