[SoC] Fwd: Google Summer of Code: Chris, Leandro, Stefan, and Nacho

[Sunburned Surveyor]

I am forwarding the weekly report for Christopher, who is working on
the JTin library for OpenJUMP. I'll follow up with our other student's
report on Monday.

Sorry for the delay. This isn't the fault of the students, but my own
procrastination.

I am currently working on the rendering side of my TIN project. It is
taking longer than I had hoped for partly due to the learning curve
associated with groking the entire JUMP rendering pipeline and partly
due to the number of different classes I need to implement. Because I
bypassed geometry and features and went straight to a Layerable
implementation of my tin, I've had to create a parallel rendering
pipeline including a Renderer, RendererFactory, and Style hierarchy.
Oh well, one of the basic laws of the universe is that everything
takes longer than you think it should.

I have commented and cleaned up the binary file import/export classes
and am happy with them for the time being. I have been expanding the
Tin/TinFace classes as needed to implement new functionality, so they
have been growing in size this last week as well.

SS, as far as meeting up personally, would it be possible to meet in
the later evening of Thursday the third, perhaps ~8pm? Laura and I
will be coming back from the coast after a quick visit to a friend and
integrating my code review into the return trip could save a bit of
gas and time on my end.
