That's great new! Welcome Ben.I am curious though how much sense it makes to maintain the community schema stuff on its branch versus doing the work to migrate to trunk. We've got trunk with the new complex feature model now, and we're going to start to have the GML3 reader parse in to it and hook it up to the renderer. If your work is done against that then it will slide right in to supported status, instead of having to do a big change over at once.
I haven't been following closely enough to know if that makes sense, but we did do a bunch of work to get the new feature model in to trunk, and one of the main reasons TOPP took on that contract was the opportunity to improve things for community schema type things and make them possible as an integrated part.

Hi all, just a quick note to introduce Ben Caradoc-Davies at CSIRO in Perth, Australia, who will be working on reference implementations of web services against data models, especially the GeoSciML and Observations & Measurements standards. Ben will be working with my support, to address the huge backlog of things I've failed to find time to fix and polish as I've worked with Gabriel to get community-schema support core functionality to a point where it functions. We will be developing project plans, and these will be made visible via Jira for anyone else who wants to play. We have some short-term objectives with regard to supporting GeoSciML - in particular keeping test cases up to date, performing regression tests as the rest of the 2.4/1.6 codebase changes, but a few new bits: * support for procedures as WFS functions * WMS support against complex features (will build a wms-c to sit alongside wfs-c in community space for now, but we're keen to test the capabilities of trunk as it emerges) * testing community schema support against various back-end (postgis, shapefile, oracle etc) Ben has already highlighted some issues with the sure-fire plugin and wants to recommend a version upgrade to fix some bugs, and we'll work in the short term by providing patches to Jira tasks, but we hope to establish committer status and in particular take over maintenance tasks in the community-schema modules so Gabriel can focus any cycles he has in the migration path to trunk, and in the meantime we can test and demonstrate the capabilities.
