[Incubator] Re: GeoMajas Graduation Recommendation

[Pieter De Graef]

  Hi all,

I would like to thank Paul from the bottom of my heart.
He has done a lot for the project and made it possible for Geomajas to 
enter incubation and propose for graduation in less then a year. Without 
him we would not be where we are now.

Also, I would like to invite you all to test Geomajas for yourselves in 
order to get a better feeling of what it does and where it stands. Any 
and all comments may help to improve upon the project.

Thanks.

Pieter De Graef

The project has recently released version 1.7.1 which represents a very complete and professional GIS package for the java community.  There is sufficient documentation to allow even a non-java guy like myself to get it running.

Upon entering incubation, they already had a suitable PSC structure, mature development and user communities and development practices consistent with OSGeo principles.  Over past 7 months or so, I have been observing the functioning of the PSC via the user and developer mailing lists and I believe the PSC functions in a manner consistent with other OSGeo projects.
