Request to create an idl-process module on unsupported land

Hi list,
I would like to add a new gt-idl-process unsupported module (leveraging on gt-process) on geotools trunk to allow exposing IDL algorithms/functions as geotools processes.
We have used it on gt-2.5.x (within a private SVN) to add feature-extraction (IDL based) capabilities to the geoserver 1.7.x WPS.
Basically, this have been achieved by wrapping an IDL feature-extraction function into a Java IDL Object wrapper by using the IDL Bridge Export Assistant Module.
Then we have exposed this capability as a Geotools process and a proper set of factories. Moreover, a poolable factory is serving IDL Object wrappers needed by executing processes.
Can I obtain the "GO" to committ this work on unsupported land?
Anyway, before doing this, I'll wait for feedbacks on GEOT-2485.
 
Best Regards,
Daniele

Sounds *great* Daniele; a strong +1 from me :-)

I would like to start communicating "unsupported" modules a bit
better; and "raise the bar" for participation. Could I ask you set up
a documentation page with a code example earlier rather then later.

(I am tired of documentation / communication being a hurdle for
supported status - since it prevents a module from getting public
feedback until too late to be helpful).

Ah, interesting. Does this mean you'll join the fray and help out in
GS WPS module on 2.0.x as well? :-)

+1 for sure

Hi Daniele,

+1 from me as well.

I'm also very much in agreement with Jody's comments. As a general
aside, I'd also add that it would be great to have adequate javadocs
in unsupported module code. I know lack of docs isn't a problem
restricted to unsupported modules, but I think it's another hurdle for
users wanting to try out a module and give us feedback.

Michael

+1 from me. Sounds like a useful addition.

Ok,
I have created a wiki page:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/IDL+Process
I will upgrade it with more info as soon as possible (I'm waiting for some info from IDL people).

Regards,
Daniele

Ummm... I am not sure you can just change the process like that :) We
discussed how unsupported modules should work in great detail when they
came into existence and it was agreed to keep the bar as low as
possible. Was there not a proposal that went through?

I am not sure I agree. If the maintainer is actually serious about
supporting the module a page on the wiki should not be much of a hurdle.
Especially compared to some of the others like test coverage etc...
