[OSGeo-Standards] SVG Map Toolkit 0.7.0 released

[Lorenzo Becchi]

you can recognize what you want but this is still an OSGeo mailing list[1]:
"This list is for discussion of OSGeo's standards-related activities, 
including such things as our interactions with OGC. "

if you look at OSGeo home page [2]:
"Created to support and build the highest-quality open source geospatial 
software. Our goal is to encourage the use and collaborative development 
of community-led projects."

so I invite you to start talking about "open source geospatial software" 
and "collaborative development of community-led projects",
otherwise you'll better move this thread to some OGC [3] mailing list as 
Massmarket [4] is.
