would add one more. A user manual for GISDK. NO way can I afford 5 days of
training unless it was free. A website would be a big help. No way could I get
public money for Sydney, AU ... been there several times but never on tax
dollars whether it is Sydney, AU or Sydney here. A manual and an internet based
website, and a big library would be a great start,

Maptitude market has become more sophisticated and ready for some more big
moves. It implies that most users can make Maptitude sing and are now
discovering things that they would need for their own individual use that
can only been done through GISDK. There are a number of possible solutions
to this problem....
1/ The creation of GISDK "gurus" - who will become leaders in the Maptitude
communtity and take on the tasks of creating customised GISDK applications
at a price....volunteers please take one step forward.
2/ The expansion and development of more GISDK applications into a BIG BIG
GISDK library..and I'm certain that Caliper and others are sitting on GISDK
programs that can be added to the library. This would encourage the
enhancement of a centralised depository for all things GISDK...
3/ An extensive GISDK training program, perhaps over 5 working days where
people can go from beginner to boffin fairly quickly and smoothly. A good
venue for this would be my home town of Sydney, Australia..summer, blue
skies, good food and semi-clad beach bodies make this the obvious location
of choice..
4/ An internet-based training program that we can tap into as we need to (at
a modest price)..
The development of an extensive GISDK community would be of great benefit to
Caliper because it would allow for
1/ Ideas on the enhancement and development of what is already a great
product
2/ a more active Maptitude community - and as any good salesperson knows,
word-of-mouth is the best form of promotion for a product
3/ Opportunity for vertical market developments, similar to the Maptitude
for Web but customised by industry and indentified through the GISDK chatter
that will occur. Caliper has already taken steps in that direction by adding
the "Marketing" functions in Maptitude, but over time we could see a
GISDK-add on for Health, Education, Retail, Finance etc etc..all on GISDK
modules sitting on the Maptitude base....
Just an idea ladies and gentlemen...
Now raise your right hand if you think Caliper should run an intensive
GISDK training course in Sydney...
