Tamas, I agree with you, Daniel and Jurgen that we would be focused on windows though I am optimistic that OSGeo4W could also be a source for those trying to make custom windows installers (ie. Portable GIS, what I used to do with FWTools and possibly even Jeff with MS4W). Once we have a PSC, we

Hi Sergio, That is excellent. We definitely want to get your expertise and inputs for the "Train the trainer" GIS program for school teachers. As you know , thanks to some volunteers we are now translating gvSIG Batovi documentation from Spanish-English and will make it available in ELOGeo to b
