Hello all,
sorry for my delay and absence during this last period, I was very very busy
... actually I'm very interested in this GSIP since we are working hard on a
lot of improvements and implementation especially in the raster side. In
particular we want to transform very very soon GeoServer in a real ND
spatial server and improving the catalog management ... so basically I give
my +1 to the Roadmap and Release handling process since the proposal is very
interesting and my promise to be more present ... my only concern about this
proposal is if the release procedure could become too much heavy and
onerous.
Regards,
Alessio.
