Free Earth Foundation? Tell me more.
My initial thoughts were that I have seen time and time again efforts to try to host these datasets that just hosting directions to get and process the datasets would get around all that. With hosting like that, it wouldn't hurt to try to get some nice "nested" datasets that can go through the whole gammut of resolutions reasonably seamlessly hosted somewhere. I still think getting documentation like what Geoserver has for Tiger and VMAP to acquire and process data from the source is very valuable. Right now, the only documentation that I have really seen is that which has been linked from this thread, so I don't care which Wiki would be best. The codehaus SVN might be a good thing, but for the types of short scripts that I am thinking we will have, it might be overkill. At some point, I'd like to take this proposal to some other lists like MapServer, but I'd like to have something concrete to point to. It sounds like there may be enough interest from this list to get something started (or would I be duplicating effort that somebody else like the FEF is doing).
