[Freegis-list] Consolidating and updating entries for my software in freegis.org

[Ari Jolma]

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.

Best regards,

Ari
