There are a number of responders to this email, and I'm not sure everyone received all responses, so I've collated them below.
Cameron Shorter: Sydney +11 hours Tim Schaub: Bozeman, MT, USA - MDT -7 hours. Steven Ottens: amsterdam, .nl GMT +1 Anthony Manfredi: Illinois, USA, GMT -5 Lorenzo Becchi: Italy/Spain GMT+1 I think this shows our time zone: http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?month=5&day=7&year=2007&p1=240&p2=75&p3=16&p4=893 I suggest we have a kickoff meeting to kick things off. It looks like it will be difficult to find a good slot for everyone: I suggest this: http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2007&month=5&day=8&hour=20&min=0&sec=0&p1=240&p2=75&p3=16&p4=893 Who can make this? If not, would another day be better? ---------------------- Tim Schaub wrote: > Cameron Shorter wrote: >> It seems that there are a number of us interested in a Styled Layer >> Descriptor (SLD) parser/renderer/editor and as usual, it will be >> better if we work on this together rather than in competing projects. > >> Who is interested in this thread. > > I am. > >> Why you are interested. > > I know that parts of the resulting code would fit nicely in > OpenLayers.
