[Geoserver-devel] uDig like status update weekly mails?

Hi,
I would like to propose developers start doing weekly
mails just like it happens on uDig to show what everybody
is up to and what is blocking on.

Something like:

------------------------------------------------------

* What am I up to:

- Design a new GeoSynch community module
- Look into some bugs with patches attached

* Impediments:
- need someone to review GEOT-123 and GEOS-1452

------------------------------------------------------

It would be a simple way to know what everybody is
working on (thus, synchronization) and to state
what you're waiting for from other developers without
being pushy: we're all busy and it's easy to forget
some tasks, especially reviews, this way at least
we get a weekly reminder of what everybody else
needs from us.

And well, if you are not working on anything for
a week, just don't send the mail (low ceremony).

What do you think?

Cheers
Andrea

I will try now ...

* What am I up to:
- Reviewing wms client code patch for time/elevation
- helping new developers get up to speed on geoserver structure

* Impediments:
- hello world tutorial is it up to date? Or even present in the documentation...

Excellent idea. Very good for keeping in contact.

Can't be mandatory, as some employers allow their staff to take leave for weeks at a time. :wink:

Ok, will try for good (the first one was a made up example)

* What I'm up to
   - Designing a GeoSynch community module (will present it to the
     community soon)
   - Some KML related stuff (see previous week mails)
   - Present a patch developed during the NY sprint that allows
     JDBC data stores to be configured with raw sql queries (in
     order to create a new feature type without setting up a view in the
     DB)
* Impediments
   - Need a review of the KML cached mode patch to
     check whether a proposal is needed:
