[Geowanking] Perl Geospatial Content (and other gems?)

[Rich Gibson]

I'm somewhat agnostic on how the data is presented :-)  The
interesting thing to me is to see if the design pattern kool aid would
be useful in exploring this space.

The idea of each 'pattern' having a user and/or developer story  is
very appealing to me.

There is a heck of a lot of code out there, and it is hard to know
where to begin!

I think I like your matrix thought-to be able see the coverage at a
glance and all.
