[OSGeo-Discuss] OS GIS for Grazing Planning

2010-06-22 Thread Frank Aragona
Is anybody aware of the use of open source GIS tools for grazing planning? I'm very interested in the prospects of taking a pre-existing platform and further developing it. Or, in the absence of such a platform (which is likely), I'd like to develop and work with partners in the development
