Coordinate geometry (COGO) is a method of inputting surveying or engineering data into GIS databases. The data typically consist of coordinates of points, distances and bearings between points, arcs and curves, point identifiers, and additional descriptions.
The first step is capturing the COGO information in a structured manner, and the GeoExt COGO GUI item will be required for that.
Once the COGO traverses are captured, they can be turned into standard GIS lines or polygons, and then validated. This work item will convert COGO traverses into OpenLayesr line or (optionally) polygon objects. The objects can then be used as map overlays or sent back to the server, using existing OpenLayers facilities.

Other Roadmap Items
Full Support of Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) specification
OpenLayers has basic support of the SLD specification of the OGC, but there are a number of more advanced options that it does not support. Among those are multiple symbolizers per rule and advanced labeling and rendering options. Another improvement needed for the web environment is to to support POST requests for WMS/Image layers to overcome the url length limitation (e.g. when using client defined SLD for rendering).
Polygon collections are very often generated as sets of shapes that share boundaries. Rather than digitizing new polygons and using snapping to create a duplicate bounding, a “build polygon” tool allows users to add new polygons on to the sides of existing polygons.
CQL is a terse language for writing data filters. This item will allow users to flip between a GUI view of the filter and a text view of the filter in CQL, and edit either one.
