[Geoserver-devel] Geoserver Enterprise

[<db...@op...>]

I read the transcript from yesterday's IRC meeting.  Sorry we couldnt
attend.

For the last 2 weeks, I have been in Victoria talking with the two new
TOPP employees (Brent Owens and Justin Deoliveira).

We have been discussing a large number of topics, but one of the major
discussions has been on the Geoserver Enterprise Edition.

This is basically a new plug-in and extension-point based system for
doing Geo-based web application (including things like WFS and WMS and
WCS).  And "customizing" existing applications.  For example, the SIS
stuff "plugging in" to WFS, and geo-wiki things.  The new Enterprise
edition will take geoserver from an application to a platform for
developing and customizing web-based geo-applications.

We have discussed how we would provide services for most of what's been
talked about on the mailing list and the few IRC meetings.  I think
you're going to be very excited about it.  We are going to write up our
ideas for next week and hope to get some feedback from you.

ps. from the last meeting, it appears the "data/catalog" portion of the
framework will be somewhat like an expanded "DataEngine" (from the IRC
meeting).
