[udig-devel] time-dependent-raster-visualization

[Andrea Antonello]

Okay, I think I need an IRC meeting. Since this will be a thesis I need
to understand how to start with small things going in a common
direction. Anyone around today? Next week? It is not all that urgent.

Also I will try to reorder a bit the hacking section in order to create
a possible theses section. Afterwards I would appreciate if someone
could evaluate feasibility.

Ciao
Andrea
