Our studies indicate that this is also a more efficient way to capture data for literate users. Over the years we’ve rolled our own mini-GIS for the desktop, but the scalability of this approach is clearly limited. Since we’re a non-profit and in the process of opening our code, it makes sense to leverage an existing system.
