[Wps-discuss] Proposal to skip 2015 WPS benchmark

[Benjamin Proß]

Dear WPS developers,

As you may know, I am responsible for the next WPS benchmark. The 
results usually are presented at the international FOSS4G conference.
This time it takes place in Seoul. I will not be able to travel there 
and so I cannot perform my sheriff duties. The FOSS4G 2016 will take 
place in Bonn, which is right around the corner from where I work.
This is one reason why I would propose to skip the 2015 WPS benchmark. 
The other reason is that we will have more time to set up the 
benchmark/test plan.
I think there is already a good basis that hopefully will be extended 
with OGC compliance tests, maybe also for WPS 2.0.
We are also planning to write a peer-reviewed paper about WPS 
interoperability which could hopefully be connected to the benchmark in 
some way.
Writing the tests and paper will take some time and so I hope you can 
understand why I propose to skip this year.
Let me know, if you have any comments or questions. I also will give you 
status updates via this list.

Cheers,

Benjamin
