The FEF is a small 503(c), started by a bunch of WW hackers, that pretty much only has bootstrap funding from Adsense and donations on WorldWind Central (http://www.worldwindcentral.com). We dont have an informational website up yet. (they are/were busy working on a processing cluster)
Basically we are looking for free datasets to archive, process and tile, currently we are WorldWind centric on the serving side, since our donators are only providing space and not a full hosting environment, WW has a very simple level, x/y grid that can be served up with only HTTP, no WMS required. The P2P idea is attractive, but it doesnt seem scalable with 100's of 1000's of small JPG/PNG's. Someone prove me wrong :) If we had some processing power that was scalable to 100K's of users we could set up WMS/WFS as well. We have also thought about how to present a 'default tile grid' spec to the OGC - www.ceteranet.com/nww-tile-struct.pdf is the current way WW does it, but are unsure about how it would be recieved. _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
