Re: what about a geodata session at swarmfest?

[Jim Westervelt]

Paul, I'll not be Swarming this year.  I did get an effort funded in
Champaign that resulted in Michael Shapiro (original primary GRASS
programmer) to develop the beginnings of a set of imbeddable GIS
operations.  My motivation was to provide GIS capabilities that could be
compiled into SWARM and other programming environments.  Are you aware of
this effort?  I believe the code can be made available.
