[Incubator] JVNMobileGIS Incubation Application

Fri Aug 24 17:40:05 EDT 2007

Before I comment on this application, I'd like to hear the results of a 
discussion between the MOSS4G project and JVNMobileGIS.

Both projects are targeting the Mobile platform.
Is there any room for collaboration between the projects?
What are the similarities and differences?
Do the projects compete with or complement each other?
