Hum... all looking good I believe?
Checked the Scala Licence: http://www.scala-lang.org/node/146
It basically seems a simplified BSD
http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:BSD_3Clause which afaik is compatible
with GPL.
The MIT licence used by geocss is also GPL compatible according to
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License

+1. Ticks all the boxes. Thanks, David, for putting your hand up as maintainer.

One thing: perhaps this should target 2.3.4 rather than 2.3.3, for more testing on nightlies before the stable release next week?

Kind regards,
Ben.

+1 here too. About keeping it among the nightlies for one more month, no
strong objection,
I just have doubts many people are using them, or that they will notice
unless we make a big
announcement.

In the end, having it in the nightlies is no different than having it in
the community builds, where
it has been for a long time already

But as said, don't feel strongly about it, it's not like one more month on
gridlock.opengeo.org/geoserver
will make a difference after uh... maybe a couple of years in the community
nightly build? (can't quite
remember when it was added there)

Last minute directory changes risk introducing packaging problems that only appear when a release is built. This happened in 2.3.2 when xslt was inadvertently omitted from the release profile. I am not saying that the nightlies will prevent this from happening, but they give us a chance to pick up problems.

Kind regards,

Thanks Ben. Yes, 2.3.4 makes a better target - I should have consulted the calendar before simply choosing “the next one.”

All right, voting has been open for 1 week and the final tally is 3 +1, no votes against. I’ve created a JIRA issue and will migrate the module over once 2.3.3 is released.

BTW, I updated the community module this weekend, now the Java port of the Wicket and Spring integration is complete. The CSS module from GeoScript is still Scala though.
