[geojquery] First code for scoping-change approach

[adams]

Eric,

thanks for your contribution - I think what you did is a good example 
for why we opened this discussionboard... we wanted to have a sink, 
where ideas could come in and where people get encouraged to contribute 
and to write a piece of software, which is based on as many minds and 
needs as possible. No matter who really makes the coding in the end 
(it's not me either ;-))

I take this to encourage others to contribute their ideas and needs to 
the list - it's a starting project which is really open to any 
experience, opinion and idea!

Till
