This workshop will walk through setting up GeoServer for standards based
collaboration around geospatial data.  The WFS-Transactional specification of the OGC
provides a way for users to not only share data, but to work together to build and
maintain geospatial data sets.  GeoServer is working to make the WFS-T specification
more useable, to truly enable public participation GIS and open source processes of
development around geospatial data.  This workshop will introduce how GeoServer makes
such things easier, and participants will walk away with concrete knowledge of how to
set up their own service to enable diverse users to work together on geospatial
information.  Part of the workshop will include a brainstorm session on future
'geocollaboration' that will feed in to the design goals of GeoServer for The Open
Planning Project.
