[gdal-dev] UFO format / GDAL 3.0

2015-04-01 Thread Even Rouault
Hi, Since some time a few ideas came to my mind and I felt today was a good one to share them and get feedback. Considering the never ending proliferation of GIS file formats, currently 220 handled in GDAL trunk, it seems wise to put an end to it. Especially since the counter used to iterate

I think this is a great idea, finally users can be forced to stop using all those silly formats. But I think GDAL 3.0 needs a good slogan, may I suggest There can be only one ? On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 10:17 AM, Daniel Morissette dmorisse...@mapgears.com wrote: Good morning Even, That
