Friends and colleagues: As I might've mentioned several weeks back, I'm part of a project team that unfortunately is predominantly Microsoft-brainw^woriented developers. However, I did mention that I'd try to sneak in some FOSS, and I've managed to finally get my project-assigned laptop to surrender to DesktopBSD, complete with sound and WiFi. I don't expect to be able to sway the rest of the team into FOSS on their desktops, let alone a FOSS-oriented development environment. What I do expect to be able to do is introduce FOSS apps into the project. One such app is a GIS. Would anyone who has had experiences with FOSS GIS please share your experiences? Main criteria would be, possibly in order, feature set, ease of use, performance, ease of training, and documentation. I don't believe ease of installation is a requirement, because that'll be the team's problem (more likely, mainly mine <G>) and we should be able to handle that.
Thanks in advance. -- Daniel O.
