[Mapbender-dev] GSoC 2010 Project - RESTful API for Mapbender [RFC]

[Vikash Banjara]

Hi,

Thanks to all of you.
I am officially accepted for the GSoC 2010. I will work on "Restful API for
Mapbender".

P.S.: I will not be available before 6th May, because of exams at the
university. I will start soon after the exams are over.

Regards
Vikash
