I had suggested publication of special issue of FOSS2006
but nothing has happened as yet.

Apart from the online proceedings of full papers,
selected papers of 2004 conference were peer-reviewed also
published in a regular scientific journal
(International Journal of Geoinformatics).

The peer-reviewed papers are available online at
http://www.j-geoinfo.net/Content/March2005/content1(1).htm

Perhaps selected papers could be published in the new OSGeo
Journal.
