[udig-devel] GeoTools 2.4 and uDig 1.2 timescales

[Jody Garnett]

Hi Tom,

There is no timescale for the release you describe, the best information 
I have gathered is here:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/2007+Q2

Which is for last quarter - it represents what is happening rather than 
what we would like to happen. Right now Jesse and myself are booked up 
on consulting work, I do keep shopping around for funding to release 
uDig 1.1 (or make the release you describe). We are also trying to write 
down the release process so other members of the community can make 
releases.

If JDi Solutions has resources (time or money) we would love to talk to 
you about a roadmap for uDig. Indeed I would like to sit down with 
community members at FOSS4G and talk about what we can get done, and when.

There is a *lot* going on right now:
- uDig 1.1 needs to be released, the moment Jesse and I get a break or 
funding
- uDig 1.2 will switch to GeoTools 2.5 in order to meet the development 
needs of The Open Planning Project (who are working on some very 
interesting WFS 1.1 support - with the support for GML3 that implys). 
They have been kind enough to start organizing a code sprint at FOSS4G 
around this topic.

It sounds like you have a deadline Tom. Right now the above Open 
Planning Project is given absolute preference because they have opened 
up a line of communications with Refractions (so we know what they are 
up to), and they are placing developer resources onto the uDig project.

I would welcome the opportunity to talk to you and could arrange a 
conference call if you are interested.

Cheers,
Jody
