Hi Alessio & Simone:
Not sure if you are aware what is going on here - this GSIP#6 is me pushing back on GeoTools development. I do not want to see any work on nD coverages unless GeoServer is maintaining a branch tracking it. I know in the past you had to maintain two branches, even with these sometimes heroic measure from your team the delay getting 2.3 out the door was too great (and GeoServer is still a ways away from 1.5). We are looking at a repeat of this performance for GeoTools 2.4, ... so we are trying for policy changes in both projects.
Chris and Andrea have asked for a couple of things from GeoTools in return for setting up "trunk on trunk". So far the list is nightly builds and an API change policy.
If you can hunt down Simone for comment it would be helpful, we must attend to nD coverage plans with the same care currently being taken with Gabriel's proposed work.
Cheers,
Jody
Hi all guys,
sorry for not being enough present at this time ... I'm really overloaded of work ...
About our short term plans, in the next few months we will work fully on nD Coverages and Ingestion Engine.
GeoServer WCS won't see any significant change until GeoTools nD coverages will be in a good development state, of course.
Basically the same for the Ingestion Engine stuff, we would like GeoServer to be as much as possible independent from it, touching just a bit the GeoServer code.
About WCS and WMS with rasters, I'll continue working on GeoServer 1.5.x branch, porting forward the changes to the trunk when necessary, paying particoular attention to not breaking it, of course.
The 1.5.x branch needs to work against GeoTools 2.3.x for the moment. I don't know exactly Simone's plans for GeoTools code, so I'll continue working with it for now.
About GSIP #6 voting, consider a +0 for me.

Longer Term Project /Dreams is definitely open for anyone to add
to. I
put my dreams there, if others have them they're welcome to. And
indeed
people are welcome to put things on the first categories if they're
actually going to finish them in the time frames. I do not know the
time frame for GridCoverage or nD support. Though actually, I do
know
nD is on GeoSolutions todo, as is ingestion engine, so I'll add them.
Community schema is on there for medium term. I didn't modify it much
from the last time, if there are updates to go for it then go for it.
