Re: [Geotools-devel] We want to help

[Ahmed Al-O. <ah...@wa...>]

I would prefer to cleanly port the code to pure Java
than wrapping the C code using JNI.
That would keep the portability of the GeoTools, which
is one of the most attractive features in GeoTools( at
least we think so).

Implementing a GPS DataStore is a good task to be
assigned to us... so as implementing GridCoverage for
MrSID format…

But you have to give us a time to get familiar with
Java/Open source community. 

Best Regards,
Ahmad
