[OSGeo-Discuss] GeoTools 8

[Adrian Custer]

Hey Jody, all,

congratulations to all of you on the ongoing work on geotools, glad to 
see the project chugging along with all your laughter, sweat, and tears.

GeoTools 8, hein? Well the '2' was always a pain so it sounds wonderful 
to get rid of it...

ciao,
   ~adrian
