Friends,<div><br></div><div>I have a student who is asking this fairly straightforward question as part of his research effort in GIS. We searched high and low in the literature and haven't found any sort of definitive statement or research result ranking the importance of various GIS capabilities so I encouraged him to create a survey and ask the GIS community. We are sending the survey to many groups so that we don't get a project specific bias so I apologize if you've already seen this request. Likewise if you are aware of a GIS mailing list that would be appropriate for this survey, please let me know.<div>
<br></div><div>Your participation in this survey would be much appreciated!</div><div><br></div><div>Link: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TDZNHKG" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 65, 112); "><font color="#993399" face="tahoma,sans-serif">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TDZNHKG</font></a></span></div>
