Jan-Oliver, others, I'd like to consolidate my entries in freegis.org under one name. The current entries are Grid: http://freegis.org/database/viewobj?obj=799 libral: http://freegis.org/database/viewobj?obj=776 I'm not sure if there aren't others. These should be deleted and a new one created. The new name would be Geoinformatica. I know, the name is not very humble, but it's not used by anyone/anything to my knowledge and its a catchy name. I use "Geoinformatica" to refer to a system, which builds on GEOS, Proj4, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, GDAL/OGR, Perl, Geo-GDAL module, GTK+, Gtk2-Perl modules, libral, Geo-Raster and Geo-Vector modules, and Gtk2-Ex-Geo modules. It is important to note that only 3 last of the 13 are software developed mainly by me, so I'm not in fact trying to claim complete ownership on that name. I use "Geoinformatica" also to refer to a binary build that I've put together for Windows (th ecurrent one contains GDAL/OGR, Perl, Gtk2-Perl modules and then my stuff, for other things there are easily usable installation packages). This whole stack is of course easier to build and use on a Linux. The stack is somewhat similar to OpenEV but as OpenEV depends on Python, this stack depends on Perl. The central page for Geoinformatica is now: http://geoinformatics.tkk.fi/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeoinformaticaSoftware which is very short page mainly with links to the pieces and documentation. And, BTW, I'd be happy to get more developers for this system, for libral, and for the Perl module projects of mine.
