Hi,
Anita - thank you for working on the splash-screen.
@Matthias and @Marco: you can blame me for suggesting the modern
Swisstopo map rather than the Dufour or Siegfriedmap. I personally think
we can be proud of the current Swisstopo map - and as Larry said -
besides the cliff drawing I believe
I am quite happy with using the map we have. In the past we have used an
array of different images so I think this is fine.
IMO we should stick to the design that Anita has done up as it looks really
modern and will good for the product.

Hi,
I really like the new splashscreen submitted by Anita..
PS: a good site to compare old dufour / new swiss map:

Hi,
It probably seems strange to me (and Marco), as this is my everyday map
and I have a totally different association than QGIS to this.
But as there is not much response to this, I guess there are not many

Hi,
I also like the name Dufour.
There are also the old Dufour maps: see http://s.geo.admin.ch/09751c84f
The problem is that the mountain called Dufourspitze is not yet on the
maps that Dufour initiated/created. It was only named after his name.
So - we could either use one of the old maps
the square ones, very nice indeed and super packaging. I thought about it
but i don't think it would be an issue.
