[Geoserver-devel] Cleaning up extensions and community modules in preparation for 2.23-RC

Hi all,
in preparation for the 2.23-RC release, I was looking at
community and extension modules that could be dropped.

I’d suggest moving these modules down, from extension to community:

  • XLST. I have built that 10 years ago, has been sitting there quietly, mostly gathering dust, haven’t touched it since. I’d say it did not find interest in the community.

  • imagemap, originally maintained by Mauro Bartolomeoli. Mauro has not been active for a while (knock if you read this mail Mauro!) and image maps have been out of favor in front end development for a long while now.
    Speaking of community modules instead, I’d suggest removing from the source tree the following:

  • WMS-EO (lack of use/interest)

  • SAML (anyone using it?)

  • OWS-Simulate (contributed by Justin some year ago, does it still have any use?)

  • NSG-WMTS profile (no traction)

  • WMTS-styles (part of a testbed, did not have follow up)

  • ogcapi/image (an experiment, did not have follow up)

  • ext-teradata (with the removal of the corresponding geotools code

  • importer-fgdb (not even in the community build)
    Anything more? Or anything you’re still interested in keeping around with a minimum of care and feeding for the module?

Cheers
Andrea

+1 on removing as much as possible of what’s old/unmaintained.

Andrea:

Your suggestions seem good.

I waned to ask if https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/dds/index.html is in use?

GeoStyler docs need to be removed https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/geostyler/index.html as the project dropped out of community.

Any other docs that can be cleaned up?

Has COG received enough real world use to be considered an extension. I have had customers using it for 6 months now; but I understand we try for a year in production.

Yep, MapStore is using it to serve DTMs to the in-browser globes.

Yep.

There are still known issues with large COGs and something else with … what was it… masks I believe.

DDS is in use, at least for now.
