    • integrates smoothly with version control systems (SVN)
  • other?

Interested OSGeo projects

  • GRASS: i18N efforts
  • Probably GDAL (users requested translated messages)
  • OSSIM?
  • QGIS?
  • gvSIG?
  • ... (please update)

Demo server

  • On OSGeo infrastructure or GRASS server or ...?
