Leo and I have a good portion of a PostGIS book written. Ideally we would
like to get a publisher to publish it, but seem to be running into the same
obstacles. No publisher seems to think people use PostGIS to warrant enough
demand for a book dedicated to it.
So to make a decent case for a book, can each of you in your own words
describe
1) How you use PostGIS?
We use it as the data store for a geographic wiki for bicyclists,
Cyclopath. http://cyclopath.org
2) What you find useful about it over anything else?
We needed a robust SQL datastore for our geographic and non-geographic
data. There's simply no other OSS alternatives. But even if there were,
it does what we ask it to, and well.
3) Why you think there should be any book written focused on its use and of
course if such a thing were to exist, would you buy it?
A book is a great way to condense the community's knowledge into an
easily-accessible form. We would buy it.
