Thanks - no, I don't have access, but if you tell me how to get it, I
can post another announcement there.

Sure, there is absolutely no competition or anything. Our stuff is
nothing but a logical working branch of uDig which for some technical
and organizational reasons happens to be hosted somewhere else. If there
had been a easier and faster way of getting the work done, we would not
have taken the trouble of duplicating everything.

I now hope that more people - especially the non-uDig Geotools users -
will realize that our approach

- simply works
- has minimal impact
- adds value to both Geotools and uDig

Well thanks at least for your moral support ;-)  Jody, I know you've
always made clear that you see our point and that you support the whole
idea. Most of what we have done (or what remains to be done to entirely
osgify Geotools and uDig) had to do with Geotools and not with uDig, so
it would be great if we could gather more awareness and some momentum in
the Geotools community to get this job done.

Best regards,

Harald
