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 with limited security permissions, accessible from its own end point.
Implementing this will involve some improvements to the catalog in order to handle different views on the core configured resources. It will also require a web interface and a REST interface to this functionality.

Other Roadmap Items
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.

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.
