Hi everyone. I've published on the NASA WorldWind Community forum ( http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/showthread.php?p=61605 ) a plugin for geoserver that allows it to serve DDS images. NASA WorldWind .net and Java 3D globes works internally with this format because it's a format that a 3D graphic card could decompress. So serve DDS images instead of other compression formats avoids NASA WorldWind to recompress them and allows better performance.
Technically i've implemented a DDSMapProducerFactory and a DDSMapProducer class. The compression work is done by a class of the WorldWind Java sdk so my plugin is dependent of it. Andrea Aime suggest that my plugin could become a GeoServer community module. I hope the dependence to WWJ SDK wich is licensed under NOSA will not pose problem.
