GeoRaptor Development Team

I have joined the GeoRaptor development team.

This team is composed of:

Holger Läbe;
Olaf Iseger;
Simon Greener;
Matic Petek (un-contactable)

So far we have been refactoring the existing code, bringing it into alignment with the latest Oracle SDO API, and ensuring it it has the closest fit to the latest SQL Developer 2.1.x codebase.

We are progressing very well.

Soon, we will make interim releases as our refactoring progresses, but we do intend to add major new functionality as soon as we can.
