Well with this new set up both can actually go in, it can be GDAL,<BR>
MapGuide and MapServer, whereas before it was GDAL, uDig and GeoServer<BR>
in that session. Also it looks like uDig isn't going, so we can fill<BR>
that with another foundation project - MapBuilder or MapBender could<BR>
make sense there if someone from there is going... I basically want to<BR>
show off how you can use open standards to actually modify the map, as<BR>
displayed in World Wind, and either of those would work fine for that.<BR>
