The GeoWanking list announces Map Rectifier, a free map georeferencing online tool. From the MetaCarta announcement: "The service
will allow you to upload an image, and using a reference map, you can
select ground control points -- points from the reference map which
match up to the uploaded image -- and then warp the image. You can use
any of a number of default base maps to reference against, or add your
own WMS or KaMap layers to the map and use them to find ground control
points." It's done by the same developers than OpenLayers.org.

Schuyler writes "We're pleased to announce the version 1.0 release of OpenLayers, a BSD-licensed, pure JavaScript API for building map applications on the Web. OpenLayers offers the ability to display a number of different types of data (e.g. WMS, WFS, point data) in a dynamic, AJAX-driven, "slippy" mapping interface. Additionally, the development version already includes support for ka-Map, World Wind, GeoRSS, Google Maps, MSN Virtual Earth, and Yahoo Maps layers, among others, all of which will appear in upcoming releases. You can get OpenLayers from the project website, and you can see it in action on our gallery page. We look forward to your suggestions and feedback!"
