[GRASS-dev] Proposal: OSGeo Cartographic Library

[Markus Neteler]

(just submitted to OSGeo-Discuss)

I would like to launch the idea of an "OSGeo Cartographic Library" to
share concepts, source code and regression tests:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Cartographic_Library

GRASS, QGIS and others are in the need of own map printing tools
for high quality output but these projects should not start from scratch.
There is a wealth of underlying code already in Mapserver, Mapguide etc
which could be re-used in the terms of their respective licenses and
certainly of programming language compatibility.

Please hack the wiki page and post your ideas.
