[Users] GeoExt 1.0?

[Christian Spanring]

from a user perspective, working with attribute data is an outstanding
functionality of geoext.

for one of our projects I used geoext in a map prototype
(http://maps.mapc.org/myrwa/) and, even though it just scratches the
surface what you can do with a featurestore in Ext, people were really
excited to see their data showing up in an explorable table on "a
Google Map". next steps for us are, among others, tighter integration
of map and attribute data exploration, like applying table
filters/search to map features or experimenting with chart views (of
map features, selections and filters, etc).

thanks for the great framework!
