Google Summer of code starts officially today.
Mind saying hello to the devel list and provide prove
you did subscribe and are ready to begin? :slight_smile:

Hello all,

     I will be working on the JTileCache project over the summer. I am starting on the project-- beginning with getting more familiar with WMS-C and Geoserver in general. I will also review the existing tickets on labels integration with TileCache. I have setup a Google Code project (http://code.google.com/p/jtilecache), and will check changes into there for now. (After the project is farther along, I would imagine that Geoserver will take over hosting the project.)

    You can read my full project proposal online (http://whitney.textdriven.com/jtilecache/proposal.html) along with information about who I am and why I am interested in this project (http://whitney.textdriven.com/jtilecache). A blog for tracking my progress with the project will be available soon.

Thanks,
Chris Whitney

Good start Chris.
I see you decided to go for a webapp separate from Geoserver.
This is ok, and will work just fine for truly static data, yet I'd be
happy if you could setup things so that a stricter integration is
possible without requiring significant JTileCache changes.

The use case I'm thinking about is dynamic data, updated thru
WFS. This situation calls for a tile cache that can learn about
which layers changed so that it can purge the relevant tiles,
and eventually rebuild them on request.
Both things can be done without strict integration (callbacks, RSS
or some other communication mechanism), yet a tightly integrated version
would be quite a bit faster and easier to set up for the end user.

Cheers
Andrea
