[Geotools-devel] Modules cleanup... a month later

[Andrea A. <aa...@op...>]

Hi,
quick mail to make some final checks on the modules
cleanup process.

It seems to me all module re-assignments went well. Good!

Moving wise, I think there was still on the place moving
the OGC EMF modules (unsupported/ogc) to supported land.
Justin? What will be of those modules?

And then there are the modules to be removed due to
lack of interest from any developer:
- mif
- geomedia
- gml
- gml3
- gpx/gpx2
- vpf

I asked around, nobody is interested in making even light
maintenance on mif, geomedia, gml, gml3 and vpf.

Yet, Camp2Camp confirmed me they are using both the mif and
gpx modules into their Talend spatial extension, so there
are users of those around... shall we drop them anyways?

Geomedia, gml and gml3 are dead and done for, so I'd say
to just remove them.

As for the ogr module, someone expressed interest in it,
but then I heard nothing more about that... sigh.
Oh well, if nobody steps up I'll take it and make it compile
again.

About the geometric extensions modules, geometry and jts-wrapper,
afaik we can just kill them?

Anything else I'm missing? The full list of unsupported modules is
here:

Cheers
Andrea
