Whether commercial or open source, this technology is difficult to learn. I think the problem is that academia doesn't know what these new tools are good for. Someone mentioned the Tomlin book. It's great if you need to do spatial analysis for landscape ecology or urban planning. If you're interested in collaborative geo-information sharing, the new open source tools are great for this, but there is no curriculum or textbook to reference. Until the next Tomlin comes along and puts the conceptual foundation in place, I believe the situation Arnulf describes will persist. --- Raj
