Thanks Rob; I was about to make that point next :-) As part of transition to acting as a library we should make sure that organizations that are willing to fix bugs are able to. One of the difficulties with the current situation is that we have patches waiting in Jira ; or developers volunteeri

Hopefully I'm not speaking out of school here, but to remind one and all of the position previously, CSIRO is engaged in a project to bring eResearch infrastructure to a community of practice, and is funded to support this for a three year period. We expect to have one or two developers, but at le

I'd agree that we need to find an evolution path. I think there are two clues in your Use Case scenario: 1) you want to be able to easily get all the data for a particular part of the world, with minimum effort and maximum understanding 2) when you get there you'll probably have new related data a

Thanks for writing up your ideas Martin. I will respond a bit more clearly another day. My initial thought is "evolution" not "revolution" ... le me explain. It is nice to clean up modules one by one starting from the bottom of the stack. That is a good direction; and something I have been work

2008-07-07 Thread Jody Garnett
The remainder of the meeting was interesting; but I am not sure if you caught it - everyone was exactly right. From the standpoint of Refractions we often wish GeoTools was more self sustaining; none of the other open source projects we work with have such an overhead for us. Now in each case

Aha! As I thought, your rant is a mixture of a good vision of the issue, an interesting intent to improve things, and an unrealistic dream that we could replace the existing by the improved. You apparently have encountered the issue of reams of duplicated data much more deeply than I ever have

I have a plan to put some papers together over the next few months, but in a nutshell, GIS systems mess things up by attaching identity to geometries (the surrogates for real world features) then forcing (or not stopping) you having many copies of these geometries as derived datasets, e.g. to provi

Hey Rob, This sounds like an interesting observation. What do you mean by "normalized data management"? I would be interested to have a bit more of your vision to see where it meshes into my (GIS) world view. --adrian On Fri, 2008-07-04 at 11:53 +1000, Rob Atkinson wrote: > Performance is impor

Hi, so yesterday I was looking into how making validation optional into the current feature model. First off, we have this idea that features might be allowed to hold invalid attributes, and that we can use a isValid() method to check whether they are actually valid or not. Implementation wise, th
