[OSGeo-Discuss] Call for help with Where 2.0 and OGC

[Bob Basques]

Michael,

What kinds of things are you looking for specifically?

I'm part of an Open-Source Javascript Framework set that we've recently 
let out.  Still putting together some finishing touches to the companion 
WebSite.  But the toolset might help with what you describe.  Need a 
little more info though about what you want to do first.
