[Buildingdata] Re: Meta Sites

[Christopher Gutteridge]

I've had a look around geotod and it's a bit poor, sadly. They don't 
really explain what it's intended to be used for.

I finally found some documentation by browsing the SVN on sourceforge... 
it was a microsoft word file. I'm just going to give up now. There might 
be something useful in that project but it sadly seems to me to be a 
half-arsed bit of code which was done to fulfill/get funding.

Seeing as there's no a single link to it that I can find using Google, 
maybe it was just never finished and formally released?
