Re: [Geotools-devel] ImageIO MetaData

[Jody G. <jga...@re...>]

Hi Martin; one of the things we are chasing up with Raj and the OSGeo 
foundation is the
ability to get into the process a bit more.

Right now this email is interesting in a social sense (yeah something 
happening with
image metadata, and even better you are pleased with it). But the 
details are useless
to us without the document, or until you have boiled them down to a Java 
interface
or wiki page.

Daniele can you attach this draft to a wiki page? Or quote some of the 
specifics
on a wiki page for us?

Thanks muchly,
Jody
