Hi all,
Could it (perhaps) make sense to have a gdal-users mailing list, in analogy to grass-users, qgis-users, etc. ?
I assume that, according to some logic, GDAL/OGR is considered to be a library from/for developers, not a GIS application for end-users. On the other hand, there are quite some documented utilities around [1], utilised by gdal-users like me. Actually, if I compare [1] with [2], I see that my "make install" installs many more utilities/scripts than mentioned on the GDAL Utilities page.
Users might have (..hmm..) simple questions that real developers might consider to be (..hmm..) not so interesting. gdal-users could be a list where experienced users reply to newcomers, with the side-effect of reducing some traffic on gdal-dev.
