[SoC] GSoC 2015 JGrasstools MODFLOW and Zoo-WPS ideas

Hi Alex,

nice to hear you like them.
And I like the experiments you write about a lot. :-)

This all comes from the fact that some initial work has been done to
create a Zoo WPS modules generator for the JGrasstools project and we
had contact with the ZooWPS community.

> I'd would be intrigued to explore these topics further with you.

Feel free to stop in the JGrasstools mailinglist and discuss this further.

All the best,
Andrea
