[OpenLayers-Dev] mapstraction

[Andrew Turner]

I believe there is preliminary support for OpenLayers in Mapstraction.

I don't head up Mapstraction - but as a user, I think having a single
API I can use to switch between mapping providers is great. So then
allowing someone setup & run GMaps, and maybe play around with OL
using the same API may be a nice door opener for more users.

OpenLayers - again from a user's standpoint, doesn't seem as much to
be a common API to G/Y/M but a full-featured, and powerful,
open-source mapping library. Especially if I want to use or
incorporate my own tiles.
