[Zoo-discuss] ZOO-Project joining Code Sprint next week

[nicolas bozon]

Hi ZOO-Tribe, Hi Gérald,

I'll join the CS through irc sometime in the afternoons (french time).

I think it is a very good idea to gather ideas for CS and write them down
on the wiki.

First, i'm strongly +1 to tackle the OSGeo Incubation more deeply. We can
probably speak and get advices to go one step forward, from FrankW or other
OSGeo board and Incubation Committee members there.

I agree that priority should go to cleaning, packaging and documenting the
current trunk for the next release, i will however also give my ideas about
the ZOO-Services and ZOO-API parts:

- Some missing GDAL Service (gdaldem ?) could may be supported and added
/zoo-services/gdal/

- GRASS GIS 6.x  and 7 support without using GRASS WPS bridge was tested by
several users, and could be improved and documented. This would provide an
easier way to run GRASS modules from Python or Javascript ZOO Service.

- +1 for removing the SpiderMonkey engine as it finally appears to be a
wrong technical choice some years ago, and +1 for replacing it by the
faster yet open source V8 engine. This would be a major enhancement as our
JavaScript engine would change, but the  ZOO-API JavaScript code probably
won't.


My 2 cents

Best,

Nick
