[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo4W - Seeking Testers and Contributors

[Landon Blake]

Frank,

I'd be willing to serve as a tester for all Java related packages. That
would include UDig and GeoTools.

I've got access to both XP and Vista.

I'd also be willing to assist with the working on Java packages for the
installer.

Landon

Folks,

For several months several of us have been working on a standard
installer
for a variety of OSGeo4W packages on MS-Windows.  The result of that is
OSGeo4W.

It is an installer that understands package dependency, supports
upgrading
individual components in place, and is network based (only downloading
the
packages that are needed).

OSGeo4W is loosely intended to supercede efforts like MS4W, and FWTools.

We are seeking windows software users willing to try out OSGeo4W, and
provide
feedback.

We are also looking for software developers and packagers interested in
helping with packaging.  Currently we have good support for GDAL,
MapServer,
uDig.  We have a proof-of-concept WinGRASS package, but it needs love.
We
would appreciate packagers for additional packages, including QGIS,
OSSIM,
MapGuide, gvSig, and GeoNetwork.

Best regards,
--
