<P><FONT size=2>This is to announce that work has begun on what is being named
the<BR>"OSGeo4W" installer. To keep this announcement email short, please
see<BR>its Wiki page for more installer details<BR>(<A
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/OSGeo_Win32_Installer">http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/OSGeo_Win32_Installer</A>).
Also, a new<BR>mailing list has been created, osgeo4w-dev (join at<BR><A
href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/osgeo4w-dev">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/osgeo4w-dev</A>),
so let's use that<BR>list for further discussions please (no need for a long
thread on the<BR>discuss list).<BR><BR>Consider this an invitation to all foss4g
software maintainers to jump<BR>on board and assist in the creation of this much
needed windows<BR>installer (currently windows users need to know where to get
FWTools,<BR>MS4W, QuantumGIS, PostGIS, winGRASS, GeoServer....and the list
goes<BR>on...*and* each contains their own build of shared libraries like
GDAL).<BR> If you are interested as a foss4g maintainer, to start please
login to<BR>that wiki page and add your name to the 'Participants'
section.<BR><BR>One thing is for sure, this is a huge task so it is clearly
going to<BR>require involvement from lots of communities. So please jump
on board!<BR><BR>See ya on the osgeo4w-dev
list!!<BR><BR>-jeff<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Discuss
