[OSGeo-Discuss] project not found in list

[Gabriel Morin]

I found the incubation list you mentioned, thanks :

gvSIG ,Marble ,MetaCRS ,Opticks ,pycsw ,rasdaman ,TEAM Engine ,ZOO-Project


Sorry I was mistaken thinking osgeo was promoting all the geospatial open source projets. I hear so much about it I was thinking it was the case, but it's a groupement like apache and eclipse.

from what you say I should go see the apache project then, mdweb is build on geotoolkit and you say it's part of Apache.
We used plenty of apache projects in formation, so it should be fine :)


I have download geotools an geotoolkit but they don't look the same, is it really a fork ?


thanks for the help.

Gabriel,

The Projects and Incubating Projects list on the OSGeo web site is intended to list direct projects of OSGeo, not all open source or even open source geospatial projects. 

I'm not familiar with MDWeb, but OpenJump can be found at:

   http://www.openjump.org/

Drupal is not geospatial, and I assume you can find the project page if you need to.  gvSIG is listed on the OSGeo page, but in the "Incubating Projects" list.  GeoToolkit is a fork of the OSGeo GeoTools project.  I think it is now an Apache project.  WorldWind is I believe directly administered by NASA (not too sure), and I'm not certain about Osmosis which I assume is OSM related. 

There are many projects which I consider "friends of OSGeo" in the sense that they are often used in conjunction with OSGeo projects or by folks who are involved in OSGeo but that are not actually projects of OSGeo.  I often recommend these, and they are discussed at conferences like FOSS4G.

I hope my response helps clarify why that is. 

Best regards,
