[Geoserver-devel] Port plugin for GeoGig from GeoServer 2.8.x to master(2.10) and 2.9.x

Greetings,

I (along with others) have been working on the GeoServer plugin for GeoGig for a few months as a community module in the 2.8.x branch. The module provides GeoGig git-like capabilities to version control feature data as a GeoServer DataStore (see http://geogig.org for more).

Until now, the module was only compatible with GeoServer 2.8, mostly due to the Wicket UI changes between GS 2.8 and 2.9. I’ve been wanting to update the module so that it could be added to GS 2.9 and master. The last couple of days, I’ve finally had a chance to dig into it to see what it would take to make this happen.

Please accept this email as a request to port the plugin from the 2.8.x branch into the master branch (i.e. GeoServer 2.10), as well as porting the plugin to the 2.9.x branch. Granting these requests will allow me to easily support the work I am currently doing as well as the GeoNode community. The GeoNode community is interested in upgrading GeoNode to using GeoServer 2.9 and have a dependency upon the plugin for GeoGig.

If I am following procedures correctly, I assume I will need to get PSC approval. Once approved, I will submit a PR to merge the plugin into the master branch. Once merged, I can then request (or open a new PR) to merge the content into 2.9.x. Please let me know if my assumptions are incorrect, or if I have the process incorrect.

Many thanks,
