Hello Geoserver Devs,
I humbly submit my request to become the maintainer of the Excel plugin. I have a fair level of experience using the Java/Eclipse/Maven development paradigm, and have contributed patches to the Excel plugin in the past. My shop has been avidly using and evangelizing GeoServer since 1.7.1. I have over 10 years of programming experience and have a commitment to open source ideals and clean, readable code. I am hoping to get more involved in GeoServer development to give back to the community, gain a better understanding of the GeoServer codebase, and learn by interacting with expert programmers on a cutting edge project. Also, the Excel plugin has no maintainer and I’d like to see it grow and take advantage of improvements in the POI library.
Please consider me for community developer status.
Thank you,
Shane StClair

Indeed +1. The recent pending patch to the excel module looks like a great improvement.
There is some good material in the developer guide about some of the project committing and module policies.

In particular how to sign up for commit access.

Thanks :). I created a Codehaus account (shane907) and applied to become a developer. Also read over the Policies and Procedures section of the developer’s guide.
A few questions that weren’t clear after a look over the docs:
As an extension committer, will I have access to the relevant files in the release module (src/release/ext-excel.xml, src/release/extensions/excel/README.TXT, etc), or are patches normally submitted for changes to these files?
Also, I’m guessing that it’s desirable to not rely on multiple versions of the same artifact. The monitoring community extension has a dependency on an older version of the POI library. Is it encouraged to submit patches to bring code into alignment concerning dependency verisons?
Thanks,
Shane

Normally the module maintainer does it, but if you're unsure about what you're
doing just ask for help on the mailing list.
Also, I'm guessing that it's desirable to not rely on multiple versions of
the same artifact. The monitoring community extension has a dependency on an
older version of the POI library. Is it encouraged to submit patches to
bring code into alignment concerning dependency verisons?
Yeah, if two modules start using the same library it would be better to move
version management in the top level pom.xml, dependency management section,
and avoid declaring a version in the modules

Hey Shane, I’m psyched you’ve coming aboard for this.
I’m right now working on a document laying out the differences between ArcGIS Server and GeoServer, laying out every feature. I’m trying to put links to documentation (and only listing as real features if things are documented), but I can’t find anything for the excel plugin.
If in you’re maintaining the excel module one really great thing you could do is add something about it to the docs. Like under http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/index.html It can be pretty simple - how to install, any options to set, and how to use it (just setting the output format on wfs).
best regards,
Chris

Not really, my comparison isn’t live yet, though I’m hoping to have it ready by the end of the week. But it’s like a 400 row document, with excel just one line, and I’ll just update it to the link whenever it’s ready.

Not really, my comparison isn’t live yet, though I’m hoping to have it ready by the end of the week. But it’s like a 400 row document, with excel just one line, and I’ll just update it to the link whenever it’s ready.
thanks!

Hi Chris,
Sure, I’ll put something together. Any timeframe for when you need this complete?
Thanks,

Hey Shane, I’m psyched you’ve coming aboard for this.
I’m right now working on a document laying out the differences between ArcGIS Server and GeoServer, laying out every feature. I’m trying to put links to documentation (and only listing as real features if things are documented), but I can’t find anything for the excel plugin.
If in you’re maintaining the excel module one really great thing you could do is add something about it to the docs. Like under http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/index.html It can be pretty simple - how to install, any options to set, and how to use it (just setting the output format on wfs).
best regards,
Chris

Hello Geoserver Devs,
I humbly submit my request to become the maintainer of the Excel plugin. I have a fair level of experience using the Java/Eclipse/Maven development paradigm, and have contributed patches to the Excel plugin in the past. My shop has been avidly using and evangelizing GeoServer since 1.7.1. I have over 10 years of programming experience and have a commitment to open source ideals and clean, readable code. I am hoping to get more involved in GeoServer development to give back to the community, gain a better understanding of the GeoServer codebase, and learn by interacting with expert programmers on a cutting edge project. Also, the Excel plugin has no maintainer and I’d like to see it grow and take advantage of improvements in the POI library.
Please consider me for community developer status.
Thank you,
Shane StClair

Hi Chris,
I put together, tested, and committed a simple Excel plugin documentation page:
http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/doc/en/user/source/extensions/excel.rst
Should be in the nightly build docs tomorrow. Let me know if you need anything else. I’m looking forward to seeing this document 
Thanks,
Shane
