Congratulations on your release.<br>
I wonder whether this project is a candidate for OSGeo-Live, <br>
</font></tt><a href=http://live.osgeo.org/><tt><font size=2>http://live.osgeo.org.<br>
<br>
In looking through your introduction I have a few questions, which were
<br>
not obvious to me.<br>
<br>
What type of user would wish to make use of Whitebox GAT? What tasks <br>
would they be performing?<br>
<br>
Does Whitebox make use of other geospatial libraries? Maybe geotools or
<br>
sextante? One of the most effective ways of attracting co-developers is
<br>
to build upon an existing project or library and adopt developers from
<br>
this project.<br>
<br>
Who is currently using Whitebox GAT?<br>
<br>
You would likely wish to weave answers to these questions into your <br>
website home page.<br>

and now we're are excited to announce that the new version of Whitebox
GAT has finally arrived. Please visit </font></tt><a href=http://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/index.html><tt><font size=2>http://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/index.html

> Whitebox has been completely re-written. The main reason for this
was to allow Whitebox to be truly multi-platform, running equally well
on MS Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. This has been a major undertaking and
as such there are still a few tools and features from Whitebox 1.0.7 that
need to be translated over to the new version. We're looking for volunteers
to help with the work yet to be done (including working on the help documentation,
testing and reporting bugs). Whitebox is now written using Java, the world's
most popular multi-platform programming language. I know there are a lot
of you out there with Java programming skills who could contribute to the
project. There have also been many additions to version 2.0, including
support for displaying vector ShapeFiles, plenty of new tools, new image
processing functionality, and an improved user interface ( </font></tt><a href=http://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/screenshots.html><tt><font size=2>http://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/screenshots.html
). As always, we welcome any feedback to help improve the software. Please
contact John Lindsay with any comments you may have.<br>
