Hi Justin; the WPS team went to try and use this proposal but it is not ready yet :-(
We tried talking about it in todays IRC meeting and got stalled out on the issue of having a maintainer. The balance here is one of resources: - on one side donating code to GeoServer cannot be a sentence to provide a staff member on call forever - on the other side donating code to GeoServer does not mean the community will maintain the code for free Andrea and I eventually worked out the compromise of either having a maintainer; or letting the PSC act like one (including kicking the module back to community status if needed). We both want to learn from the GeoTools experience of shapefile patches piling up in Jira. It sounds like it too late for this procedure to be followed by the WPS team for this phase of the project. It would be very good if this procedure could be worked out prior to negotiating for continued work.
