Aren't the GRASS folks pulling together a next generation to their Spearfish demo? I think they even have a talk on it planned for FOSS4G. Also we are actively pulling together some data for FOSS4G for the area around Victoria as a OSGeo Geodata Repository demo and for use in the interoperability fair.

I was wondering the same thing after I sent it. Nice and Open Sourcey. The best data<br>seems to be in the UK and I was kinda hoping to use an area a bit more familiar. The<br>DNR distributes free data for the Twin Cities metro area that could work as well.
