Re: [ldm-users] Windows and LDM replacement

AWIPS Build 10 (I think; it's fuzzy now) in the NWS parlance will be the 
last instance of AWIPS v1.  AWIPS2 Build 1 will be a complete rewrite of 
AWIPS with no feature changes/enhancements and solely bug fixes.  AWIPS2 
 Build2 will be the first one to see enhancements and should also mark 
the official open-sourcing of AWIPS2.

We'll see how well Raytheon handles the Open-Source concept.
