Why is Thuban being developed?
[2001:] The FreeGIS Project provides
an overview of Free Software GIS projects.
Many valuable and highly sophisticated tools exist, but there is
still a need for a user-friendly, interactive viewer for geographic

It was the pole star when the Egyptians built the pyramids. Read this WikiPedia article for more about the Thuban the star. There is also a short german article on Thuban at WikiPedia.
