Hi Ravi,
This is great feedback. I agree that generally as a community we put
too much emphasis on low-level geospatial code and very little on
front-end usability...which is why projects like OpenJump and QGIS shine
so brightly.
Sounds like you gave a great session! I enjoy giving those sessions to
interested students very much.

Hi Jeff,
was teaching a bunch of young kids open source GIS, for 3 days (CSSTEP /
IIRS Dehradun, India) 2 of them from Vietnam. They were so pleased by
OpenJUMP that they
made me spend a whole morning and after noon (the only day off I had)
'Mineral prognostication', using 'OpenJUMP'.
Front ends being easy, and learning curves (a breeze) matter after all, than
how much is packed in a OS-GIS software.
Cheers
Ravi
