please don't conflate my gift to humanity with a computer virus, or some autoimmune disease which parasites on the rest, often destroying the host; thanks. it's a nasty turn of phrase which was quite deliberately invented to skew an otherwise meaningful discussion.

I invite you to have a look at some of the existing commercial/ consulting firm's training material, who were happy to give back. The key I think is getting a reputation as the go-to company for training on some particular area, not just being in sole control of some quickly outdated PDF. http://www.gdf-hannover.de/media.php?lg=en http://www.gdf-hannover.de/leistungen.php?id=3&lg=en best, Hamish _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
