[udig-devel] Re: [OpenSDI] Change of subject: uDig and move to uDig user-list
|
Martin,
I think this discussion should move to the uDig users list if we
proceed on it. Since there is no such list yet, I will post this to the
uDig-devel list instead. People interested could then jump to that
discussion. (lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel)
Sorry to the others for bothering you!
Jeroen

Martin,
That sound very good, I also think it would be very beneficial if we
could get around the table with ITC and FAO to avoid we start diverting
in different directions.
I am BCC-ing some colleagues in FAO to avoid they eventually get
spammed ;-)
Greetings,
Jeroen
