requesting new mailing list(s) about OGC standards

[sebastianh]

I would like to request a new mailing list for discussing about OGC standards and its implementation.

In fact you have the possibility to ask general questions about these standards in the official OGC Public Forum [1]. But for a plenty of other questions, a mailing list might be the better (and faster) choice.

for example:

• you need just a little hint from other developers to implement some details properly
• you want to know something about OGC standards and their usage in open source projects
• you want to discuss about the prospective development of several OWS standards, without the need to be a OGC member
  • (maybe we can form a common "OSGEO point of view" concerning specific questions)
• ...

On eogeo.org [2] you can find a good example for a mailing list about webmapservice specification. It would be great if we had either a common mailing list for all OGC related topics or several lists for each OGC standard (WMS, WFS, WPS, ...) under the OSGEO umbrella.

Sebastian,

It sounds to me like you're not aware of the OSGeo "Standards" list.

I believe that your request is already met by this list, and there is no need for another one.
