Subject: SpinnyGlobe Reprise

At this point this project is effectively feature complete and usable.  In
general it is a client browser map 3d rendering solution with tiled zooming,
markers, popups, lines, loads input files from xml, can handle vastly higher
point loads than google maps.  See:

  http://civicmaps.org/spinnyglobe/flash/bin/spinnyglobe.html

It was completed mostly because we've had an ongoing need to show more point
features and more data in a richer way than google maps affords us.  Meedan
has graciously offered to make the work public domain.

To use the application use the mouse to pan and use the buttons on the top
left  where the cross in the top left is navigation, with zoom controls
underneath, and reset (in red) underneath that.

The source is at:

  http://spinnyglobe.googlecode.com

We're over budget on this one - I'm looking for volunteers to help tackle
things like more configurability, letting novice users specify their own WMS
servers, javascript support, more kml, handling some rendering edge cases,
double buffering ( to prevent blackouts ) , motion momentum, and porting
back to the iphone to provide a highest performance client there.
