Hello Simone, I don't understand very well what the cartography app will do, but would like to learn more about it and also help you set up the project in a way that makes it easier for you to extend GeoNode without having to fork the whole geonode and geonode-client trees.
Let's meet in the #geonode chatroom tomorrow(or any other) morning (at some point between 9a.m. and 12m EST http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/na/est.html ). Ariel.
