Sorry, I think getting a response to you on this slipped by again.

Cool.

It looks like we're all good with this.  I'm working on what the other 
two foundation projects will be.  It looks like uDig isn't going to make 
it, so we could slot another OSGeo project in there, or if none steps up 
then just go with GeoServer + WW.

I think there could be a compelling story on the GeoServer side of 
things that fit in with WW.  Namely 'glue' for the geospatial web. 
GeoServer supports PNG, JPEG, SVG, KML and PDF output formats, and 
perhaps I could try to get a GeoRSS one out too, and we're getting a 
good gmaps tutorial as well.  So just as WW can glue in diverse sources 
on the client side, so too can GeoServer glue your data to a number of 
different clients.  If MapBender or MapBuilder could make it they could 
fit in well, as both do WFS-T, so you can show how modifications to 
GeoServer show up on worldwind.
