It is a stated goal of the Spatial Information Services Stack (SISS) 
project that GeoServer community-schemas be ported to trunk. SISS is an 
NCRIS project http://www.ncris.dest.gov.au/ that will commence in July. 
It is anticipated that the port be completed this year. It is a goal of 
the SISS project that community-schemas become a fully-supported 
component of the GeoServer trunk. This cannot be achieved without the 
cooperation of the community.

Dr Robert Woodcock, Director of AuScope Grid http://www.auscope.org/ and 
Project Manager of SISS, approached OpenPlans regarding this project, 
and was offered a subscription to GeoServer Enterprise. This was not 
what he wanted. The SISS project can contribute effort to the port of 
community-schemas to trunk as a contributor to an Open Source project, 
not as a commercial customer. SISS is all about improving the capability 
of Open Source software to deliver spatial services. This software can 
then be adopted by others. SISS is an enabling project, not one that 
intends to deliver any data itself.

As of this morning, Robert is a subscriber to this list, and will no 
doubt be keenly following this discussion.
