[Incubator] MapFish Incubation

[Cameron Shorter]

Cedric,
I'm delighted to see MapFish present itself for OSGeo Incubation.
I have been watching MapFish's progress for a far and have been 
impressed with progress to date.

My initial impressions and suggestions are:
1. The community seems to be almost entirely coming from one company, 
CampToCamp. If possible, I strongly encourage you to engage a broader 
developer community.
2. Sell yourselves at FOSS4G 2008.
3. You have explained how you are collaborating with other OSGeo 
projects which is good. I suggest you also explain the niche that 
MapFish fills that other OSGeo projects don't fill. In particular, what 
are the differences or similarities with MapBender? Are there 
opportunities to integrate with MapBender?
Highlight how you complement Openlayers rather than covering the same 
functionality.
