Agenda

 * What more is needed to get OSGeo's Geodata Repository running at Telascience
 * User accounts to ask SAC for if needed
 * Responsibilities for different data sets
 * What kind of portal is needed - is wiki enough?
 * Some type of browsing interface for the data neccesary:
 * OpenLayers for Raster/Vector data? Easy to set up, might not be full featured enough for some people?
 * Perhaps Ka-Map's tile.php as cached layer to feed both kamap and openlayers?
 * Single-image screenshots for Raster data as overviews
 * Vector dataset descriptions: What various attributes are/mean (better metadata)
 * GeoRSS out to get updates, with bounding boxes -- need to get some way to display this data, does anything do GeoRSS rendering with bounding boxes right now?
 * Free Earth Foundation working on distributed open geodata services targeted at WorldWind - how can we help?
 * Feedback appreciated on metadata client
