Not sure about using GRASS but using a DataBase yes > Why don't people share their development work ? Probably because this is a *tough* problem to get right and is very labor intensive even with the best of tools therefore most of the work to date has been commercially driven > We would need a database where everyone around the world could be > granted write access to a dataset that is kept at one central point > (later we might talk about replication or a distributed database), I think we want to start at the other end i.e. several smaller localized databases with local access control Initial decomposition of the World should probably be by Continents since there wouldn't be any edge matching problems. However since edge problems are confined to neighboring tiles a finer grain decomposition should be possible with some coordination Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
