Adding TIME support to GeoServer and Mosaic plugin

Ciao a tutti,lately I have been working on adding support in GeoServer for the TIME keyword in GetMap requests by updating the ImageMosaic plugin. The work is being performed on trunk but I might backport to 2.0.x, funding permitting, when it will be ready to roll.The goals are as follows:Ability to select a certain number of granules from the mosaic index based on the actual values of a TIME attributeMake the TIME mechanism transparent if not neededAllow users to update the granule index over time adding new granulesThe scenario I am trying to cope with is the following:I have a...
