Hi Ben; the community has a process that we use to run things (of which I am sure you are aware). So community involvement extends to voting on proposals you put forward, and if you are lucky testing by interested users.
I am helping a team right now do some work around WPS, and while it is our goal to have a module ready to go, we will need to go through the GSIP process and schedule any changes we make with other developers such as yourself. The SISS project will have the same kind of relationship with GeoServer, ie as community members we both need to play nice with others and follow the process as outlined. > 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 is a developer list - so we will focus on the programming (in the form of Jira issues) and a little bit of product planning (In the form of GSIP change proposals). Support contracts and training is available from a range of organizations on this list, but is a little bit off topic. > As of this morning, Robert is a subscriber to this list, and will no > doubt be keenly following this discussion.
