Completed Proposals

These proposals have been completed, and have been made available in a public release.

GSIP 10 - WFS 1.1 Support — Porting wfs 1.1 implementation from ows4 branch to GeoServer trunk.
GSIP 11 - Data configuration handling — Allowing developers to easily change data directory configurations without forcing people to download them.
GSIP 13 - Logging — Improving GeoServer logging.
GSIP 14 - WFS Transaction handling framework
GSIP 15 - Contributor Agreements and Supporting Documentation — Creating Contributor Agreements and supporting documentation
GSIP 16 - Security subsystem
GSIP 19 - Per layer security — Allowing per layer security to complete the security offering started with service layer security
GSIP 1 - Project Steering Committee formation — The bootstrapping of the Project Steering Committee, to give it power in a formal motion
GSIP 20 - Automated Regionating in KML MapProducer — Merge the code that does automated "regionating" (a Google-coined term for choosing to hide or show features based on zoom level) in the GeoSearch community module back into the main KML map producer.
GSIP 22 - Community Modules — A process for managing GeoServer extensions.
GSIP 23 - Wicket UI — A new web administration tool based on the Apache Wicket framework.
GSIP 25 - New Documentation Framework — Formalizing GeoServer documentation process and tools
GSIP 26 - New GeoServer Branding — Proposal for new branding - primarily logo, font and color scheme
GSIP 27 - Long freeze handling procedures — For every major release we have a long running freeze period that prevents every activity on the stable branch for a long period, making it harder development on the same branch. This needs to be addressed to allow small features and non critical bug fixes to be attended without un-nedeeded delays
GSIP 28 - Subversion Reorganization — Reorganizing the top level structure of branches in the svn repository.
GSIP 29- GeoSearch Index Exposure in GeoServer — Augment GeoServer's exposure in Google's GeoSearch by providing a nice summary page for layers.
GSIP 2 - Automated Code Formatting — Adding automated code formatting to the maven build so that code formatting is always done.
GSIP 30 - Roadmap Process — A proposal of a development process centered around a community managed road map.
GSIP 31 - Use DataAccess API — [GEOS-2568] Update codebase to use DataAccess API, which the previous assumption that all features are a very limited subset of GML Simple Features Profile 0 (the simplest available official GML profile).
GSIP 32 - REST support module — The creation of a new core module which contains support classes for creating RESTful services in GeoServer.
GSIP 33 - REST configuration module — REST configuration interface for GeoServer.
GSIP 34 - New data directory structure for 2.x — A restructuring of the geoserver data directory for the 2.x series.
GSIP 35 - WMS Decorations — WMS decorations provide a framework for visually annotating images from WMS with absolute (rather than spatial) positioning. Examples of decorations include compasses, scalebars, and watermarks.
GSIP 39 - Centralized, pluggable URL mangling — Provide a centralized API to build URLs allowing pluggable transformations to change them (e.g., proxy handling and the like).
GSIP 39 - Promote app-schema to extension — Promote the app-schema community module to an extension.
GSIP 41 - Promote perLayerSecurity UI to extension — Promote the web-security community module to an extension.
GSIP 42 - Official testing team — Extend participation of the user base in the GeoServer evolution by setting up an official testing team.
GSIP 44 - Virtual services with workspaces — Providing the ability to provide multiple virtual W*S services by extending the existing namespace/workspace filtering concept.
GSIP 46 - Creating new feature types from GUI and from REST api — GeoServer so far allowed only the configuration of existing feature types as new layers. This proposal leverages the DataAccess.createSchema(...) GeoTools API to support actual feature type creation
GSIP 47 - WMS cascading — Add WMS cascading abilities to GeoServer
GSIP 48 - Parametric SQL views in GeoServer — Allow GeoServer to use a raw, parametric SQL statement as a data source for WFS/WMS

GSIP 51 - Upgrade to Wicket 1.4 — Upgrading the GeoServer UI to Wicket 1.4.
GSIP 52 - Refactor out DAO for Catalog and Configuration — Creating a DAO interface for Catalog and Configuration interfaces.
GSIP 54 Upgrade Geoserver security to Spring Security 2.0 — Upgrade from Acegi Security to Spring Security 2.0. This update is a prerequisite to continue with GSIP 53 Geoserver security improvement
GSIP 55 - Promote WPS to extension — Promote WPS to extension.
GSIP 56 - WMS 1.3 Support — The addition of WMS 1.3.
GSIP 57 - Improving GeoServer authorization framework — Adding support for data filtering in GeoServer security framework
GSIP 58 - RESTConfig API Improvements — Some general improvements to the RESTConfig api.
GSIP 59 - Promote RESTConfig to Core Module — Moving RESTConfig from extension to core module.
GSIP 5 - Release process
