[OSGeo-Standards] distributed image processing support?

[Jody Garnett]

The WPS specification is a good fit for this sort of work; you will find 
52N has a WPS server you can work with today; we are also doing a 
short-term project to add that into the next round of GeoServer. I trust 
that GeoServer is making all of its services restful over the next 
little while and I am sure WPS would get the same treatment.

Cheers,
Jody
