[Tilecache] [OpenLayers-Users] Google Summer of Code ideas?

[Bill Woodall]

Hi Lists,

The updates to get Gmaps, OL, and TC to play together is getting put
back into both OL and TC.

For OL, there is Ticket #501 (newTileforGrid_patch) which makes tiles in
mercator and the TC updates are getting wrapped up and hopefully
available here very shortly along with a HowTo and updated docs.

Others have already taken this work and are already using it in this
early form.

I hope that helps clarify things, if not please feel free to contact the
list or me.

..........Bill,
