I didn't react to that because I see this conclusion as obviously good as you see it :) I am not sure if that is the intended purpose of this type of programs (shouldn't they code?) but for sure, showcases videos and tutorials are very nice for promoting the software. In fact, publishing blog posts comparing closed and FLOSS is also very helpful. If you are doubting what kind of software to use, a good comparison with table feature comparisons is very handy But that should be outside the project page, because we are not begging for users. We are strong projects on our own, we don't need to keep continuously comparing to the closed alternatives for users to know what we do. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
