Hello all,
Just wondering if any developers are actively working on support for nonlinear geometries. I think it is mentioned here since it talks about SQL/MM part 3, which includes circular arcs: <http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Roadmap+Ideas#RoadmapIdeas-ValidationforWFST> (the wiki markup for "Curve support" got messed up so I linked to the one above it.). There is a potential naval use case (areas of operation), so it might attract some funding.

As far as I know no one is actively working on it or has funded plans to. But lots of people have expressed interest. I believe would have to be at the JTS level, and might involve JTS going to 2.0. Which would be great for the open source ecosystem, cascading to GEOS and PostGIS and Ingres and more. So to get it in GeoServer we'd need funding for JTS, and then funding for the GeoTools datastores we want to be able to support it, and then funding for GeoServer to properly output it.
best regards,
Chris
