[geojquery] jQuery Spatial

[Roald de Wit]

  Hi Volker et al.,

If you want to change the project name, you can consider names like 
jqSpatial or jqMaps, etc. That way it will be clear that the project is 
based on jQuery and not part of the official jQuery projects.
If the name would be changed, I think it would make sense to change that 
name on Gitorious and the mailing list etc too to avoid confusion in the 
future.

My AU$ 0.02... :-)

Regards, Roald
