Mo’ momentum
September 24th, 2007
There is a suggestion to have a thrash-it-all-out meeting at FOSS4G. The Boy Genius versus the REST?
An update on those earlier pointless statistics:
- http://wiki.geojson.org now has 20 pages, and has had a total of 12,802 page views to date
- http://lists.geojson.org/listinfo.cgi/geojson-geojson.org now has 49 subscribers
Mo’ mentum
April 12th, 2007
Allan has added some momentum, here: http://wiki.geojson.org/RFC-001
Some other pointless statistics to be going on with:
- http://wiki.geojson.org has 15 (count them!) pages, and has had a total of 1,420 page views to date
- http://lists.geojson.org/listinfo.cgi/geojson-geojson.org has 27 subscribers (http://lists.georss.org/listinfo.cgi/georss-georss.org has 140, so we have some way to go yet…)
GeoJSON
March 15th, 2007
I just sent this to the OGC TC, Context RWG, and Architecture Board mailing lists, as well as the GeoRSS list:
During the last OGC AB teleconference we discussed the possibility of using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON, http://json.org) as an alternative encoding to XML for some existing OGC specs, e.g. WMS/OWS Context and GML.
The AB thought that the best approach was to carry out some collabaritive experiments to test the JSON water. To this end I have set up the following: a wiki - at http://wiki.geojson.org - with some background information; a mailing list - at http://lists.geojson.org/listinfo.cgi/geojson-geojson.org; and a blog - at http://blog.geojson.org/ - with this e-mail as the only post so far.
I hope that GeoJSON can proceed in much the same way as GeoRSS did. That is, do the bulk of the work outside of the formal OGC procedures, but with the aim of releasing whatever GeoJSON becomes as an OGC White Paper. The primary benefit of being outside of the formal RFC process is that it will allow non-OGC input - both geospatial and JSON - from the start.
If you want to get actively involved then please go ahead and start wiki-ing the wiki (registration required), and posting to the list. If you want to have admin access to the sites and/or lists then please e-mail me directly.
