MOSS4G (Mobile Open Source Software for Geoinformatics)

MOSS4G project proposes to build on the discussions of the FOSS4G 2006
Mobile GIS BOF and OSGeo Mobile Solutions Wiki and create a GPS enabled
application with data exchange and remote services (WFS-T), with raster
support (WMS).  We're going to target Windows CE platform first but we
are going to use C/posix as the standard so we can migrate to others.

It will be based on other Open Source projects that have been ported to
Windows CE like GDAL, GEOS, PROJ.4 and many many other utility libraries
like libgd, libpng, libjpeg, etc. So, our project is going to create a
kind of framework for further developments for GIS solutions based on
Windows CE platform.

Good to see.  I'm looking at a smallish govt project atm that /may/ be
able to throw some resources at it, providing we can be sure to get what
the client needs.  wms and wfs-t will be key for us, though we haven't
got as far as a formal FRS yet.

I'll have a good look at the wiki and see what I can add over the next
few days or weeks.

Regards,
Tim Bowden
