[cat-interop] welcome to this catalogue interoperability list

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Paul, all,

It was very nice meeting at FOSS4G, and probably the first time to have 
so many (catalogue) projects represented on the table.
Thanks Tom for taking care of mailing list creation.

During the FOSS4G closing party I was able to have a small meeting with 
Markus Schneider from deegree and discussed about the BOF decisions. 
Markus, this is the mailing list, please join us :)

Paul, thanks for covering all the items discussed.

Cheers,
Angelos
