Hi Andrea and Justin,

I will be working on SOS implementation in GeoServer in last quarter of this 
year and currently doing some scoping work and studying on GeoServer source 
code to see how I can implement it.  Have a chat with Ben just now and he 
pointed me to both of you and hope to get some pointers / helps from both of 
you on some of thougths I have on how to implement SOS in GeoServer.

FYI, I have deployed a copy of 52NorthSOS in our test server that generate some 
time series observations information [1].  I found that the GetCapabilities and 
GetObservations output are very much similar to WFS GetCapabilities and 
GetObservations output.  e.g. The SOS observation output from SOS is basically 
a WFS output that wraps in a SOAP envelope body (correct me if I am wrong...).

While studying the GetCapabilities implementation for WFS in GeoServer, I can 
see a lot of complex implementations including the use of Eclipse Modeling 
Framework in GeoTools to generate the WFS model (well, i don't fully understand 
the whole implementation yet... ).

So, my thought would be since SOS output is just WFS output wraps in a SOAP 
envelope body and rather than creating from scratch a whole new service for SOS 
in GeoServer/GeoTools, we can make use of the existing WFS and App-Schema 
modules to generate a SOS output - making implementation simpler.  Wonder if 
this is possible ?  And if possible, how do I achieve this - writing SOAP 
implementation in GeoServer ?

Note :
Eventhough I have few years GeoServer deployment experience but honestly 
speaking, I am still very new with GeoServer development and hoping to find 
some "mentors" or "sifus" who are willing to help or point me to the right 
direction with this SOS implementation in GeoServer project.
