Welcome to GeoTools Development

The procedures used by the GeoTools Development community are captured in our developers guide which represents a good place to start if you are new to working on the GeoTools library itself. If you would just like to use the GeoTools library please consult our user guide.

This page brings together the work of the development community; you will see pages ranging from formal change proposals (organized by release) to wild ideas and RnD design documents. Reader beware!

We would like to thank all the organizations that support this project by providing facilities.

Ideas, references, blue-sky discussions

Looking for a great idea ? Or perhaps you've got one and want to share it. We've set up a GeoTools group on CiteULike where you can search or browse our library of interesting papers, articles, code snippets etc. and contribute your own.

To join the GeoTools group first register with CiteULike here . You only if you have to join if you'd like to contribute to the library and the associated blog. Anyone is free to search the library - just include geotools amoung your search terms.

The Ideas page provides a list of good ideas for future development.
