Simon,
I was merely suggesting an approach. As I said, we didn't have a goal to inform other what Desktop GIS is the best, we just wanted to present a model dataset for many different packages, so that a person

Sometime ago, we were also interested in why are there so many desktop open GIS packages. So what we did was the following, we created a model project with several groups of different type layers and recreated i
Simon,
I agree 99% with you, but why you left Mac out of the tests. AFAICT Grass,
Qgis, Udig, OpenJump, OrbisGis, geoserver,
mapserver and somehow gvSIG work on Mac.

I agree with Stefan.
I have found comparison tables of little use as the compiler has to
summarize what is probably quite complex routines. They rarely give a
potential user like myself the complete picture.
My view has been that the only way to evaluate the usefulness of a
program is to use

Joel,
A lot of this article seems to be a contract dispute rather than a software
licensing dispute. An interesting point is that if Netezza had secured

When I started organising the Italian Desktop comparison, I tried to
involve both the community of developers and users.
Regarding developers, you might remember an email asking the QGis and
gvSig for a first meeting in Sydney to which I got no answer. So
nothing happened from that side.
Also as m
You're absolutely right, pretend I said collaborate instead of consolidate.

I'll do that talk, if there's really interest in it, but it has
nothing to do with technology or desktops, it's sociology and
psychology. And no, efforts cannot "be consolidated" (active

I think a more interesting presentation would be why there are so many
desktop GIS packages, the consequent pros/cons, and if/how efforts could be
consolidated.

Hei all,
thanks for Cameron on keeping me in the loop, and to Markus for

I think Pauls idea sounds interesting - because this whole comparison

a) quite cumbersome when we have 10 desktop GIS (+ X), and

Hi.
I only have seen a few, rather incomplete, comparisons: do you have

Also keep in mind, unlike windows specific applications many foss4g apps rely
on shared libraries like OGR and back end DB's.
So the testing is not just of the application but also the libs and DB's.
