What is Core Development?
Core development adds new features to the open source projects in which we participate. The roadmap items to the right are projects that we consider important to the continued growth and maturity of these projects.
OpenGeo offers reduced rates on items from our core development roadmaps.
One common question we get is “Will this feature be in the next release?” The only way to ensure a feature is added on a particular schedule or before a particular release is to fund the development of that feature. We will combine your support with that of others until there is enough backing to complete the feature.
For more information see the FAQ.
Roadmap Items
Integrated Web Processing Service (WPS)
Funded: A WPS in GeoServer will be integrated into GeoServer 2.1 to perform real operations at the level of the data instead of relying on parsing GML or reading large raster files over the network like the standalone WPS implementations.
Currently the layers that GeoServer publishes are the same for all users. We'd like to introduce the concept of “workspaces”, a logical collection of layers, optionally with limited security permissions, accessible from a unique end point.
Funded: GeoServer is now compliant with the latest WMS standard.
Funded: REST configuration allows AJAX and other clients to configure GeoServer without using the HTML user interface, providing the option of scripted configuration, automatic refresh, and other shortcuts useful for production deployments.
Funded: A new, cleaner user interface built on the Wicket web framework debuted with GeoServer 2.0
Currently features are only accessible via the Web Feature Service (WFS) API. REST feature access will provide a ”resource oriented“ approach to accessing geographic collections. It will also use the existing AtomPub specification to provide for feature viewing and editing.
