Hi Michael,
sure we can publish it there. Most presentations that we publish are 
licensed as GNU FDL, would this be a problem? As author and owner it is 
no problem for me to change the license or publish it under a dual 
license if need be. I do not recollect discussing document license 
requirements at all though, did I miss it?

I am working on this presentation every now and then (correct the EPSG 
codes, WKT format, blabla.), so it will change over the next few weeks. 
I just uploaded and tagged it as "stable" (what the hell is 
"baselined"?). I added both PDF and SXI (change to ODT with the next 
release) so that it can be taken apart and modified by anybody. Would it 
make sense to develop this kind of stuff through SVN until its stable or 
would that take too long / be too complicated?

If this is not the way you intend this library to work tell me what 
process you have worked out (I was busy at the LinuxTag booth, so am 
slightly back in whats been communicated meanwhile).

Best regards,
Arnulf.
