[OpenLayers-Dev] KML / OWS Context support in OpenLayers

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm scoping out Lisasoft's work for our KML involvement (based on 
providing KML support for Mapbuilder) and am digging though emails, 
twikis etc to try to bring myself up to speed.

We are at a bit of a disadvantage in Australia in that OWS 5 Agile 
meetings are at 3am in Sydney, and there is a limit to my dedication to 
my work.

It seems from the Schedule in the OWS-5_Kickoff_KML_Overview.ppt at 
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/index.php?m=projects&a=view&project_id=241&tab=2&artifact_id=22872
that the KML3 that we need to implement will not be available as draft 
until October.
Ie, it would be prudent to hold back on implementing until after 
October, to have a draft by December.

When are others planning to start their implementations? (I'd like to 
align our Lisasoft's efforts as much as possible).
