Hmm. Check the archives for Jonathan Greenberg -- he is one of the
lead developers. It would be nice to get starspan into OSGEO so that
questions / code patches ect. can be handled in an efficient manner.
Starspan is an emmensly important GIS tool, but suffers from a lack of
developers, documentation, and bug handling.

Perhaps I should take these comments to the OSGEO mailing list... What
do you think Jonathan?

Cheers,
