Hi everyone,

This is good news from Lorenzo. I have been using a customized ka-Map 
application for the last year and have been very pleased with it 
(http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/27). I have been a little 
worried about the proposed OpenLayers integration, as it appears to tax the 
client machine quite a bit more- even for simple map rendering. However, it 
is fairly simple to add data sources, and the config syntax is quite 
readable.

Either way, both projects are of high quality and have been working well for 
my purposes. Thanks again to all that have contributed to ka-Map and 
OpenLayers.

Cheers,

Dylan
