Rolando and myself are already supposed to be collaborating (I was
very surprised to see new Point, Line and Polygon graphics in his new
symbol set as they do not scale well when used dynamically to
communicate style - but that can be our next discussion on the
graphics list!).

It is not clear to me if the uDig icon set and geosilk will be other
resources; or part of what the graphics list mandated? I did sign up
to this list to collaborate ....

Thanks for starting out.

We need a link; or better yet a comparison; and then we need a section
on core abstractions... As you can see GeSilk and uDig use the same
core abstractions for web map server (a server with a map). Each has
adjusted the core abstraction to match their icons sets representation
of server.

Showing  a few sample graphics would really help communicate with the
projects are about.

I have quite strict file name guidelines I need to follow for the
eclipse environment.
