".And then came the grandest idea of all! We actually made a map of the country, on the scale of a mile to the mile! Have you used it much? I enquired. It has never been spread out, yet, said Mein Herr: the farmers objected: they said it would cover the whole country, and shut out the sunlight! So we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well." - Lewis Carroll.

I know lots of hip old geo types, and lots of young geo dorks. so what? I'd much rather see a panel on how modern web geo tech like geo REST, geoJSON, geoRSS, open layers, etc, can be effectively integrated with older GIS tech to develop genuinely useful new knowledge for new populations. A comparison of 'tricks of the trade" that would be a constructive experience for everyone, or a discussion of entirely new possibilities that neither web hackers or GIS techies could achieve alone. fwiw Mike _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
