FOSS4G History
Mateusz posted a link to an interesting topic on osgeo-discuss. I think it’s a great idea to document the history of geospatial and open source, and I echo Dave’s comments on how Wikipedia would be an ideal home for documentation and maintenance.
Perhaps the best way to go about this would be for the various projects on Wikipedia (MapServer, GDAL, GeoTools, GRASS, etc.) to document their respective histories, and allow the main Wikipedia OSGeo page to link to them accordingly.
Thoughts? Are there better alternatives than Wikipedia? Should projects document history on their own respective websites, which Wikipedia then references
