[pycsw-devel] development update

[Tom Kralidis]

All: just wanted to provide a list of project updates:

- welcome back Angelos!  Angelos has been sorely missed and it's great to have him back on the project

- performance improvements: _significant_ speedups as repositories increase in records [1].  A little more work on the data model, but worth the effort

- 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

- loads of other fixes and enhancements [2]:
 - JSON output
 - unified administration utility
 - SRU support
 - WMS harvest support for APISO (other OWS are coming)
 - ogc:Function support
 - MySQL support
 - geometry transformation using pyproj
 - asynchronous processing

All of the above is in svn trunk and git mirror [3] which is always kept up to date.

- geonode integration: work has recently been done to enable pycsw as the CSW endpoint for GeoNode [4].

Having said this, we should think about a 1.2.0 release plan, maybe FOSS4G-NA 2012 [5] would be a good timeline?  Comments?
