Hi Michael,

You are right, we are in late compared to this anticipated agenda. The 
main reason is SOLAPLayers 2.0 is a complete rewriting/re-engineering of 
the proof of concept that was version 1.0. We are presently investing a 
lot of development efforts on this project in order to produce a clean, 
robust and evolutive architecture and some interesting and powerful 
capabilities for the spatialisation of datasources. The server part is 
well advanced and we are currently able to mix different data sources 
(files, services, databases, olap, ...). All is defined in a XML file 
with an intuitive, logic and powerfull syntax.

The client side is progressing well also and we are considering if we 
will do the move to ExtJS 4 right now or later. In addition to what is 
illustrated in the new architecture schema provided in the presentation, 
we are at present working on the possibility to support several export 
formats and not only OLAPJSON for rendering on the client side. Image 
and KML formats are the output formats we are working on.

So, as you can see, the project is still alive and we are targeting to 
release this powerful version 2.0 in September just in time for the 
FOSS4G 2011 conference, which will hold in Denver this year.

Hope it helps,

Cheers.

Th.
