Cameron,
if the others are too, I would be interested in such a comparison.
My main question wouls be, exactly what would we be testing? Performance
(how?), functionality, ease-of-use, architecture, ....
I still have to check my schedule, but I believe I can set aside a
enough time. I will already forward this mail to the Geomajas mailing
list, to check for response there.

German Carillo has been building a gis web client comparison which
will make a good basis for a foss4g presentation here:

Does anyone know how to contact German so that we can thank him, and
invite him to participate in a FOSS4G presentation?
Who else would be available to help out with a browser comparison for
the various projects?

Abstracts for FOSS4G are due next Thursday 15 April 2010 and I'm
hoping that we will see abstracts for:
* LiveDVD lightening overview
* WMS/WFS/WCS Shootout
* Desktop comparison
* Browser Client comparison
* Database comparison
I predict that these presentations will be by far the most popular
presentations of the conference. Further, I'm expecting to
incorporate results onto the LiveDVD. They will be a lot of effort to
prepare, partly because they will need a team of project developers
to contribute to it, and consequently, unless we get our act together
soon, I suspect that no-one will submit presentations for some of the
topics above.
So I encourage people to respond to the following targeted email
threads, noting your intention to help and be part of one of the
presentation teams. (Note, the presentation will be the easy bit, the
hard bit will be collating the material for the presentation).
A good team for these comparison projects will consist of:
* a representative from each project in the comparison. These types
of comparisons will be the first place new users will go when
researching software, so are well worth participating in.
* users who have used more than one of the applications
* anyone involved in related comparison reviews, or development of
feature tables or similar
* coordinator/"get it done" people who can pull it all together
* people who can speak well, and efficiently. (You will have lots of
material to present is a short time)
