<br>All: just wanted to provide a list of project updates:<br><br>- welcome back Angelos! Angelos has been sorely missed and it's great to have him back on the project<br><br>- performance improvements: _significant_ speedups as repositories increase in records [1]. A little more work on the data model, but worth the effort<br><br>- testing: in addition to the OGC CITE tests, there is now a testing framework in trunk in the spirit of MapServer's msautotest. All commits always should pass both OGC CSW and the tester/ framework, as well as doc updates<br><br>- loads of other fixes and enhancements [2]:<br> - JSON output<br> - unified administration utility<br> - SRU support<br> - WMS harvest support for APISO (other OWS are coming)<br> - ogc:Function support<br> - MySQL support<br> - geometry transformation using pyproj<br> - asynchronous processing<br><br>All of the above is in svn trunk and git mirror [3] which is always kept up to date.<br><br>- geonode integration: work has recently been done to enable pycsw as the CSW endpoint for GeoNode [4].<br><br>Having said this, we should think about a 1.2.0 release plan, maybe FOSS4G-NA 2012 [5] would be a good timeline?
