[OSGeo-Discuss] Map of Wiki/OSGeo Members

[Rafal Wawer]

Hi Christian,
A very nice map indeed.
The functionality is good and fast, however a possibility to make zoom with 
bounding box would be a nice addon.
The outlook is very similiar to http://spatial-reference.org.

Best regards
or
MfG (-:
Raf
