Estimation and Roadmapping for the "Serve geospatial data" part of the CAPRA Clearing House.

From the CAPRA Terms of Reference:

"Serve geospatial data. The site will host the data and be able to store data added by users. This data will primarily be the map products of the first phase of CAPRA, specifically the hazard and risk maps. The Hazard maps are in .ame format, the risk maps are in .shp format. The maps will be in multiple resolutions covering the same territory. It is required to transition smoothly between these maps whenever a user chooses to zoom in or out altering the scale or the map."

We need to break this down into discrete, actionable tickets with realistic estimations.

Obviously, most of the functionality described here is performed by GeoServer out of the box. Things that this ticket should break down into are things like:
* setting up the project infrastructure (#22)
* Setting up a (super basic) GeoExt page with a MapPanel (#23)
* This should probably also include deployment some of the deployment story, so it doesn't fall through the cracks.

Note that the second item already makes some assumptions about the map viewing component of the Clearing House which have not been informed by user interaction design. If this isn't as straightforward as we think, we may need to get some design input.
