[Tilecache] Sandbox please

[Cameron Shorter]

Continuing on from IRC ...
<CameronShorter> ping crschmidt
<CameronShorter> I'm interested to know what is planned for the future 
of TileCache.
<CameronShorter> Ie, with regard to ownership, accepting software 
developers, whether TileCache is going to be incorporated into the 
OpenLayers SVN directory, Who is going to manage the TileCache project - 
will it be the OpenLayers PSC or Metacarta or will a seperate PSC be set up?

My reason for asking is that our company, Lisasoft is planning to use 
TileCache for our future services, and we are keen to see its 
development continue and are likely to contribute to the code base, test 
cases, and support.

I'm surprised you have suggested Bill put TileCache into the OpenLayers 
SVN sandbox. This seems to suggest:
1. You are wanting to merge OpenLayers and TileCache, or
2. You don't want to open up the TileCache developer base, or
3. TileCache is a low priority and has not been given the Sys Admin 
support it needs, or
4. Something else?
