Something that I failed to mention during the PSC meeting was that on
moving geo-functionality to JS, there are starting to be good JS
geoprocessing libraries and some people do cool complex things with
them, but so far, those are usually *one* complex thing per
application and it is often with *points* not lines or polygons.
Whereas, GeoMoose has always done *many* complex things on complicated
*polygons*.  MapStore 2 is one example of more functionalities and
more complex data, another proof of concept is
