[OSGeo-Discuss] Commercial support

Frank, But the existing system doesn't get to the questions I've seen in this thread, namely, about searching for companies with mixed capabilities (open and proprietary) experience. I also see it as expanding on what's there already, not overly complicating it. bobb On 9/3/2010 11:59 AM

That is indeed tricky. Since support includes both community and paid but support is the more likely term used in searching we might need to rethink the navigation strategy to have a page specific to "Support that mentions both and links to the service providers and the other forms of support. Tha
