Thanks Tim! Good points. It summarizes most of the topics currently
listed under "things you can do with QGIS", "import and export data",
"QGIS for developers" and "multi platform". I'll cross-check and
remove duplicates. That should give us some more free space to put
more pictures. Should we put a group picture from dev meeting? Is
there one from Lisboa?

What do you think about a list of professional institutions using
QGIS? It could be helpful to make to point that QGIS is used for
serious work. But then how to pick them ...
Maybe the sponsors list is good enough.

Best wishes,
Anita
