That was my first thought this morning - there are plugins. The devs work furiously to bring us quality software. I try my best to test and submit bugs and help....

Maybe a thought would be symbology - ESRI is a symbol rich environment. I made mention on my blog at one point about QGIS and Symbology and that has been the top ranked hit on the blog for 2 years running.

How hard would it be to build a symbol repository: Geology. Transportation. National Parks. Standard symbols that people need in a less restrictive licensing environment? QGIs has a lot of symbols - maybe that could be expanded in a more constructive environment?

Feel free to contribute if you find some other nice symbols.

This brings down to the very long standing issue of having a style and
symbol repository, much as we have plugins. I'm convinced this would
greatly improve usability of QGIS, and collaboration among many more users.
Anyone willing to support this, either with code or sponsoring a
developer? In case, please write here, or contact QGIS-PSC.
All the best.

In the meanwhile, it would be also nice to have just a "other ressources" page collecting all these links. And even if these links will be outdated some say, they are still an indicator that there was some work done somewhere which could be retrieved again by smart search. Even people who read this mailing list only accidently stumble upon those threads containing these informations.
