As we are are planning for our next OSGeo-Live 6.5 release, we are now
seeing a number geospatial portal applications which all seem to be
doing roughly the same thing, and are being developed independently of
each other. (see list below)
It seems to be a crowded market space which would be daunting for
purchasers looking to find the right project, and which I expect would
benefit from a level of consolidation.
I'd like to hear thoughts from stakeholders in each of these projects.
Am I missing something here, what is unique about your specific project?
Are there opportunities for collaboration? Merging of functionality
between projects often has an effort cost up front, but pays off long
term as you share developers and sponsors across one codebase instead of
two.
