Giancarlo,

That was me.  I was hoping could split the abandoned GIS packages 
between us.  I started working on qgis and a few others, as well as 
testing some of the various optional dependencies.

However, I'm still recovering from cancer treatment over the past year. 
I don't think I will get to qgis and some of the other Benjamin 
Trigona-Harany scripts for quite a while yet.  I am also way behind on 
checking my regular set of scripts.

If you want them, go ahead and take them.  These are the ones I was 
going to update:

gis/OTB
gis/OWSLib
gis/qgis
gis/postgis
gis/ossim
gis/xplanet

Thanks,
