Hi all,
I have been wanting to send my thoughts about the UI evaluation for a couple of days now and finally got a chance to sit down and do so.
Basically I think we might be going overboard with doing an exhaustive evaluation. I think the reason why is because we are worried that a bad technology choice will lead to something that is hard to maintain like the current UI is today. But I dont really see this happening, I think we have learned enough from the current UI to figure out what mistakes we should avoid.
Wicket solves all of our problems and at the same time is a lively project that does not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. These two factors make me confident enough it as a technology choice.
So... bottom line is my vote is to go with wicket, and forgo any more evaluation. I think we have done enough at this point to make an intelligent choice.
My 2c,
-Justin

Hi All,
I want to communicate that today, the GeoServer-BR list commemorates its first Birthday.
The list initiated with 20 members, and today it has 125 members.
Best Regards,

Wow, a single language one that has 1/4 members of the "official" one.
That's a lot, congratulations! How are you managing?
Are the questions simple enough that you manage to get them solved directly? (I' wondering since I never stumbled on a mail like "hey at
geoserver-br we have this open question nobody knows how to answer").
Cheers
Andrea
Hello Justin,
just realised I didn't send this to the list...

Hi Ugo,
This looks interesting. One thing I would like love to see in the future
is people putting different user interfaces on GeoServer. It would be
very cool if someone came up with a RAP interface for GeoServer at some
point. Perhaps to provide some specific functionality. While perhaps the
wicket interface is just used for adminstration.
Anyways, do you have any more information about people that are using
this technology?
Nope. We were looking for JS APIs and came across this one. Perhaps one
one could use udig to generate config files for geoserver. Exporting the
widgets with RAP would made it possible to have a JS-based config
application. Anyway, probably more work then you want to do.
Cheers,
Ugo
