[Freegis-list] Martin Reddy's Open Source Projects

[Felipe G. Nievinski]

Hey Paul, I'm not Martin! :)

I'm sorry I was not clear - I had just made a suggestion, his page looked great.
Maybe Jan-Oliver or Bernhard could invite him, I think he would like to be part of this group.

I can't connect to tsmapi.com too, but I thought it could be some local routing problem here, since I can't access a lot of sites in USA. I found an addrees which can be an alias to the site: http://www.ai.sri.com/tsmApi/ (it worked).

About SRI company, it's that company which proposed the .geo (dot-geo) domain name to ICANN last year, remember?
It is a very interesting architecture for data discovery.


cheers,
Felipe.
