Probably, you want a list for user questions, rather than a list like this one which is for development of the product itself. I think this may be the right one: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
