Proposals for new functionality

Proposals are developed on the WIKI so others can get a better understanding of what a developer wants to add to GeoNetwork opensource before it is accepted in the core. When writing a proposal, you should use the proposal template as starting point. Add your proposal to the list below. When proposal is ready for vote, a ​ticket should be opened and a patch attached when available.

Proposals require Project Steering Committee approval before they can be accepted.
