Hi Andrea, Thanks for your response. Answers to your questions follow:
* I don't have commit access to the SVN repository but I've forked Gabriel's wfs-ng branch (https://github.com/groldan/geotools/tree/wfs_ng) to https://github.com/Adam-Brown/geotools/tree/wfs_ng and I've been working there. * No problem, I have used the list in the past (but it was a while ago) to discuss matters pertaining to this (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28948653). But to introduce myself more completely: I'm a programmer at CSIRO (Perth, Australia) and have been given the task of getting complex feature support in GeoTools. * I'm committed to getting this done and have been allocated time from CSIRO to do so. I have another two months' time to work exclusively on this functionality. * I had created a WFSContentDataAccess in gt-wfs-ng following Gabriel's suggestion in the conversation in the above link. * My colleague, Ben Caradoc-Davies, suggested that it would be better to aim to release this in 9.x on account of its scope. I'll tidy up some loose ends and send through a patch this week. Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any more questions.

Hi Adam, I don't have time to review the proposal right now, but thanks for taking on complex feature parsing and building, that goes a long way into making complex features usable outside of the app-schema store (the other thing missing would be a ContentDataAccess set). Let me ask a bit of more general questions while I'm at it. - do you have commit access? - did you introduce yourself in the past? I apologize if you did, can't remember about it. Mind, in open source communities we recognize people, not companies/authorities - one of the basic items about proposals is resourcing, making sure some work is not started unless is fully backed. Is it there? - the proposal mentions a WFS data store which is complex feature capable, where do you intend to carry on that work - what branch is the proposal intended to land onto? We should be branching off 8.x as a new stable branch, how much is the proposal affecting code that is supposed to be "stable"? - it appears you already have work in progress on that one, if so, it would be useful if you could attach a patch so that we can see where you're going Cheers Andrea -- Ing.
