[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G BOF: GeoFunctions

Hi all,

I have created a Birds of a feather session for GeoFunctions.

GeoFunctions is currently a (small) library of XSLT 2 functions
for GEO processing of GML,KML,GeoRSS etc data.  

It includes functions to calculate area, segment length, perimeter,
polygon centroids, plus a few others.

I would like to see if there are other XSLT practitioners out there
who would like to use these functions and perhaps make an open
source project out of it.

I have a few ideas for some useful and cool applications (I think :-), 
and I would like to invite anyone who is interested to join me
at FOSS4G to chat about the possibilities and make plans.
