Greetings all

I found geoapt (the data browser not the biz) today just as I had been
ready to give up on finding a GIS data browser. I was so pleased that
it did not crash and actually is relatively functional.

I'd vote for the name QCAT too. Short and sweet. Lends itself to
creation of a feline logo.

Gary, we need a wish list and/or a bug tracker.

Without a road map of some kind you won't get any developers to sign
up to help you.

Wikis are nice, I always want a wiki. Mine is here: http://www.wildsong.biz/
I throw everything in there.

I would be happy to clean spam out of the google group if you give me
moderator rights.
I hate spam. I really hate mailing list spam.

I am allergic to cats. This isn't a very convincing argument for the
name.

My goal in "throwing" it out there was to see if there was any
interest
and let those using begin to define a road map. I haven't really
attempted to push it much.

I think getting a thread started on the list to discuss features and
direction would be a good start for now until things get rolling.

Yup.

I don't care for google groups all that much but it was convenient. I
cleaned the spam---if more pops up I'll be sure to enlist your help.
