[fusion-dev] GeoExt

[Paul Spencer]

Hi,

JxLib is advancing, but slowly at the moment as there are only two  
developers.  We've created a community presence in the hope of  
attracting new developers and we have had some success.  It will take  
a while to advance things though.

Enhanced grid operations are on our list of things to develop in the  
future.

If you have an immediate need, you might want to try MapFish instead  
of trying to add ExtJS to Fusion.

Cheers

Paul
