[Freegis-list] OSS Funding

I'll second that. If we could enlist the computational geometry folks
and add some research applications (biodiversity mapping, dynamic
modeling, parallel algorithms, etc.), we could think about submitting to
NSF or others. I'm sure we could directly fund a great deal of
development of free gis tools.
