[postgis-users] How do you use PostGIS?

[Paul Ramsey]

PostGIS'ers:

The time has come again for my annual query of our list. The last time 
I asked this, about a year and a half ago, there were ~260 people on 
the list. This time, there are ~600 people. So by one metric at least 
we are growing quickly in numbers. We also have ~1200 source code 
downloads a month these days, up from ~350.

Anyhow, the question is this:

    "How are you using PostGIS in your organization?"

I am preparing for the Open Source Geospatial conference in Minnesota 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mum/) and would like to get a feel for 
what people are doing these days with PostGIS?

If you could say in your response, at a minimum:

- Name of the organization
- Data being managed in the database
- How the data is being accessed / manipulated
- Why you chose to use PostGIS for the application

And also for our edification and strategic planning:

- What PostGIS feature or PostGIS-related software (not necessarily 
internal to PostGIS) would make your life much easier/better?

Thanks so much!

Paul
