Re: [udig-devel] Grass service and netcdf service

Hi Jody, PSC,

No strategic change, but you are right that the proposal might be good
to be documented. So here it goes:
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Moving+Grass+and+netcdf+services+from+JGrass+to+uDig

I do not agree here. Namespaces should be bound to the company. I
agree on the fact that it is handy to have code grouped, but it
doesn't seem to be a big issue to me (we can decide on naming
conventions).
It is well possible that companies that do things for uDig in paid
projects are forced to use a different namespace. What would you do
with those? My feeling is that different namespaces can't be avoided
at some point.

Even if I think that this is a discussion that should be taken into
IRC, I would like to hear comments from the others here.
Please let's not block development and additions to uDig just because of this.

Thanks,
Andrea
