Hi Franck,<br><br>congratulations for your intiative! We mantain a similar work for the Spanish-speaking community, but it's only in Spanish at the moment, sorry.<br><br>I see some useful projects which could be added to your report:
<br><br>* Desktop GIS:<br> - gvSIG [1], the project I take part in.<br> - Nasa WorldWind [2]<br>* OGC WebServers:<br> - GeoServer [3]<br> - deegree [4]<br>* WebMapping projects:<br> - MapBuilder [5]<br> - MapBender [6]
<br> - Ka-Map [7]<br> - openlayers [8]<br> - MapGuide Community [9]<br> - Cartoweb [10]<br><br>There are also some other projects as well as lots of libraries, but I suppose you don't want to get into a deep detail. If I'm wrong, let me know so that I can provide you with more resources.
<br><br>You can also have a look at Paul Ramsey's Survey on FOSS4G [11] which also have a look at the status of this projects.<br><br>[1] <a href="http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=gvsig&L=2">http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=gvsig&L=2

<br> Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G e-primer first draft<br><br><br> Hi Franck,<br> Excellent start and good initiative!<br> My first quick comment will obviously be on the GeoNetwork section, since that's where I'm most involved in :-)
<br><br> It would be good if you use the name "GeoNetwork opensource".<br> It would be nice if you could make it clear in the section that the FAO GeoNetwork is just one of the implementations out there. GeoNetwork opensource is at its basis and there are already many more implementations up and running. The software is used in a number of national SDI initiatives and in all of the large United Nations Agencies.
