Regarding whether or not the VGI meeting was interesting, that depends on one's perspective. Most geowankers listening might have thought that they already knew most of what was discussed. But the point is that you participate in these events (like lists) to give (to teach) also, not only to receive. At VGI I found it refreshing to see *genuine* interest on the part of people like Dangermond and Don Cooke (co-inventor of DIME; a neogeographer in the late 60s!) to try to sit next to Steve Coast and a Google guy at lunch, to learn more and to try to comprehend what is going on.
It is important to help get others (paleos) up to speed, not just sit back and call them cave dwellers. We all have our limitations; for example many geowankers seem to have limited political saavy, i.e. cool technology solves all problems...why don't other people get it? :-) cheers Mike ------- Michael Gould Centro de Visualización Interactiva www.cevi.uji.es Dept.

I declined an invite to represent the AWMC mainly because we haven't yet discovered anything about community and open data that OSM hasn't already known for 2.5 years.

So it's very easy to use the same parser for any GeoRSS - not just earthquake (just need to modify the magnitude->marker scaling code). I used this as a model for building a Map/Timeline from KML file for Israel-Palestine water usage project: http://mapsomething.com/demo/waterusage/ a couple of KML files are generating the general "large scale" timeline on the right-hand side and the finer-grain simile timeline along the bottom.
