Add new geoweb services

[JasonSanford]

It would be quite easy to add new geoweb service providers to what's here currently (AGS, A2E, GeoIQ). Some other options are:

• Google Fusion Tables - do they allow bbox searches or can you just use FT through the GMaps API?

What about geoserver for self-hosted data?

[JasonSanford]

What protocol would you expect to fetch data from GeoServer? WFS, WMS, etc?

[writercoder]

I'd expect WFS would be best for vector data but it does look a little heavyweight. Maybe a simple json server to return PostGIS data would be easier.

[JasonSanford]

Yeah, I'd be interested in the latter. If someone else is interested in writing something to query/parse a WFS service I'd be glad to add it.

What about MapFish protocol ? http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/MapFishProtocol

[JasonSanford]

Yep, I think this could easily be added. Created a separate issue at #36.

Maybe GeoCouch JSON data from CouchDB would be simple to implement?

[JasonSanford]

Seems reasonable. bbox search is available which is really all that is needed. Created a separate issue at #37.
