[Gvsig_english] PAL community platform and extJPAL

[Olivier ERTZ]

Dear all,
we are pleased to announce the start of PAL community platform and we 
invite you to visit http://pal.heig-vd.ch. Currently, there is an 
experimental release of extJPAL for gvSIG 1.x < 1.9 
(https://gvsig.org/plugins/downloads/pal-automated-placement-of-labels) 
providing label placement functionnalities thanks to PAL library 
(notice, QGIS is also using it, and an integration for MapWindow is in 
progress).

We take benefit of this announcement for a calling to people interested 
in the creation of a new extension for the gvSIG >= 1.9. Rightly, major 
focuses of the community platform is to federate and bring together 
forces to maintain the library, offer support for new integrations and 
follow innovative new developments in the field of labeling through PAL 
opensource library. Currently, a stable release of PAL automated label 
placement library is available, and the source code can be downloaded 
from the website. Also a start of documentation is ready to help new 
integrations and developements on the core library. A Trac instance and 
mailing-list were setup to manage the project 
(http://geosysin.iict.ch/pal-trac).

If you plan a new PAL integration for gvSIG, feel free to join the 
mailing-list to get help, post your questions, needs, comments and ideas 
(http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/pal-developer).
