[udig-devel] Irrespective of IRC meetings we need a number

[andrea antonello]

Jody, what is going on here?
IRC should have been today, thuersday, not yesterday. I was
discussiong this with Jesse in the list yesterday. No one told it
should have been yesterday? I'm pretty much confused.

Yes, in fact, forget about beegis. Vector will be based on udig. For
the raster part I am investigating currently if I am able to bring
GRASS raster readers to geotools coverage. If I have time and make it,
the raster part would be on coverage of udig, else on the raster
engine of jgrass. Obviously I would prefer if all could work for udig.

:) That is something we could talk about.

Again, no idea about the missed IRC which should be today, but let's talk.
