I second Andrea.
I set up a proposal so we could see what was needed for the GeoTools side. Once
there are a few more names next to the "tasks" section we should be able to go
ahead.
For reference here is the list of tasks:
aa: check build in Java 6 an apply eventual patches
Update pom to indicate 1.6 as a compiler setting
Update developers guide build instructions
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/building/java.html
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/building/install/install.html
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/guide/building/install/jdk.html
jg: check the instructions (setting up a fresh machine)
Update user guide
Quickstart tutorial already advises use of latest JDK
Christian this kind of "build and docs" work is often part of what is meant by
the PMC "doing the dirty work required to keep the project going" :-) Do you
have time to do any of the above?
