Hi James (and all):
We have our requirements document together (a draft will be sent out 
shortly) and we are starting an outline of our project.
Cool, I look forward to seeing it.
The very first question we came up with was packaging (and the associated 
branding that represents).
What I would like to set up is:
org.geotools.udig
But I need to clear this with James first.
I need to think about that a bit... When GeoTools2 was first setup the 
following statement was made:
"
It is not the intention of the GeoTools 2 project to develop finished 
products or applications, but it is the intention to interact and support 
fully other initiatives and projects which would like to use the GeoTools 2 
toolkit to create such resources.
"
This statement was important as it helps people understand the distinction 
between geotools as a toolkit for developers and end user products/projects 
like geoserver, udig.
I'm not totally against org.geotools.whatever as long as the 'whatever' 
maintains its own identity strongly enough.  And I suspect uDIG will!
I'll sleep on this and let you know what I end up thinking.
From there I would like to transition to org.geotools.jump when we have a 
beta, with a go ahead from Martin. While we did look at 
net.refractions.udig I think it will be more important to have community 
involvement.
I agree with that... would net.udig be an option?
