appealing… pity there are no IBMs in our facebook friends! Maybe if we linked GeoServer to WebSphere or Maximo… ;)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<a href="http://locationtech.org/proposals/user-friendly-desktop-internet-gis-udig">
proposal</a> to join LocationTech (in part because it is an Eclipse RCP project). So far it has been educational experience comparing the incubation process between the foundations (and a bit of a pain
