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+uDigAs for namespace; I am all in favour of company branding - but I would prefer it in the correct spot.
So namespace: -1
Reason: I would like to keep net.refractions.udig.catalog just so the code is grouped in a useful manner.
What would I like to do for company branding?
- for your plugin list hydrologis as the provider
- Add the branding element for the hydrologis provider so the logo and link shows up in the udig about box
- it will also be associated in the about box with the plugins you contributed.
Does that sound okay? I have not added LISAsoft as a provider yet as I have not made any new plugins while working for the company yet.
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.
in fact this is the case also for Andrea himself: he did not realized when proposing his policy, but, since part of the work he is committing, was financed by my Institution, it is required that the code origin is distinguishable, and I can refer to it precisely in my documents. So, I asked to my administration and they agreed with the solution, proposed by Andrea (different namespace). At the same time I would also need that my company branding (CUDAM - University of Trento) appear somewhere.
riccardo rigon 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

What i would like to do is you is:

Hi all,
it is now a long time we have GRASS raster support in JGrass and
lately also netcdf support.
I hereby ask the PSC to get permission to add the two plugins to the
uDig distribution. I opened a ticket here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1637
I think it is clear that in the case of addition, they will have a
hydrologis namespace and not a refraction.
I remember we were taking about ages ago, and there were different
ideas about it.
That's it, waiting for your votes,
Thanks,
Andrea
