[Incubator] GeoMoose

[Paul Spencer]

Hi Bob ..

a couple of quick questions that might help clarify things for me:

1) can you describe why you chose to create a new AJAX framework  
rather than leverage an existing one like MapBuilder?  As MapBuilder  
is already an incubated project, it is important to differentiate  
your project from MapBuilder in particular.

2) can you describe if and how you plan integrate with other OSGeo  
projects, such as OpenLayers.

Cheers

Paul
