Good to here there is interest. I agree about that. The fact is that Too
many java GIS are getting cloned and there are codebase changes of which
no one can then keep the versions uptodate. I think it would be a good
idea to join your team with our raster analysis part and our close
relationship to GRASS.

At the present time we work mostly on superficial hydrology and
geomorphology on 2D data, but we already gave a close look to the visad 2D
and 3D data model (http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html), since
sooner or later there will be the need of it.

Thank you Adrian, I will wait for some other feedback and then contact
people directly to start a conversation.
