Hi all,
I would like to propose a new extension for GeoServer, in particular,
dynamic charting in SLD courtesy of the GeoTools charting module
and the Eastwood charts library.

You can find more information about it in this message I wrote
to the GeoTools mailing list:
http://n2.nabble.com/Proposing-new-chart-generating-dynamic-symbolizer-module-td2693818.html#a2693818

The extension would be just like a datastore one, the only thing
required is dropping the gt-chart along with its dependencies
(eastwood, jfreechart, jfree-common) into the GeoServer libraries,
as the module implements a dynamic symbolizer extension point.

I would be the one support it, no unit tests required.
As for documentation, most of it is available online
at the Google Charts API docs, what needs to be added in
the GeoServer docs are example of usage and some discussion
on the dynamic symbolizers (which is still pending:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2854)

Also have a look at my parallel request to make the gt-chart
module supported in GeoTools land, it contains more
details about the module:
http://n2.nabble.com/Vote%3A-graduating-the-charts-module-into-supported-land-td2844690.html

Imho this would make for quite a selling point for GeoServer 1.7.5 ;-)

Feedback appreciated
Cheers
Andrea
