The original module maintainer hasn't been active for awhile, and no one
has really asked about it. So I don't think anyone has an idea of how
well it's implemented, what its limitations are. The guy who wrote it
was pretty good though. If you try it out do let us know, as we can
then package it up and list it as 'unstable' if you can at least get it
working. This will then increase the chances that someone else could
come along and improve it.

Hi list,
the only reference about the old Geomedia datastore I could find is the one
above (2006-02-10). We have some customers using monoGIS and Geomedia MDBs,
who are interested in WFS-T functionality. Support for WFS-T within monoGIS
is out of scope for the moment. My favorite solution right now is to use
geoserver for this, as we already successfuly using it with Oracle Spatial
datastore.
If today an active module maintainer exists, I would be pleased to sent him
my comments and some improvements we made in monoGIS (like support for arc
and multi-polygon geometries, etc.). Indeed, I already sent them to the
original maintainer a year ago.
If the module still does not have an active maintainer, I may be willing to
invest some time on this topic. But before I have to check its feasibility,
e.g. one of the things I would need for this are some references (tools to
use, svn url, coding rules,..). I am not quite sure if the changes have to
be done both in geotools, in geoserver or both projects? Some advice would
be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Michael.

I do believe it's unmantained.

Since it's a datastore, work is to be performed mainly in Geotools.
The developers guide is here and should provide you with the information needed to get started: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/Home
You'll have to decide on which geotools branch to operate, too.
Geoserver 1.4.x is built against the 2.2.x branch, it's considered stable but won't be probably be developed anymore.
Geoserver 1.5.x is built against the 2.3.x branch, it's the current focus and is going to turn into mantainance mode once we release 1.5.0 (it may be that we'll add some minor features to it, but nothing earth shaking).
Geoserver 1.6.x (current trunk) is built against geotools trunk, and it's the place for any new major development (wfs 1.1 and the like).
Hope this helps
Cheers
Andrea
