[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: FOSS4G Technology review presentations - Web clients

[Pieter De Graef]

Cameron,

if the others are too, I would be interested in such a comparison.
My main question wouls be, exactly what would we be testing? Performance 
(how?), functionality, ease-of-use, architecture, ....

I still have to check my schedule, but I believe I can set aside a 
enough time. I will already forward this mail to the Geomajas mailing 
list, to check for response there.
