After the sprintsession of Aug 20 [Sprintsession_2008_aug_20] it was decided to make part of the McTools initiative Open Source. A new set of reposities has been opened. They are called
OpenEarthTools
OpenEarthRawData
OpenEarthModels
In the EU MICORE project we started using these reposities. it is also anticipated that the BwN project will use these reposities. Currently these repositoroes are still pass-wrod protected, but they will open up in the near future.
