Hello Simone, This is a very idea. However, this is my first participation. So could we agree on a time plz.=20 Cheers, Adit=20 -----Original Message----- From: Simone Giannecchini [mailto:sim...@gm...]=20 Sent: 27 July 2006 16:55 To: Adit Santokhee Cc: Bryce L Nordgren; ale...@gm...; Geoserver-devel; geo...@li... Subject: Re: [Geotools-devel] Geotools, Geoserver and Coverages' future. Ciao Adit, would you be able to do an informat IRC tomorrow afternoon (our time zones are very close to each other) on the geoserver channel? That would cut help the discussion even because some people (like me) are somehow slow to answer emails. Whoever is interested might show up and provide commets, afterwards we might post the logs to the lsit and see what happens. Simone.
