</div>Thanks Tim! Good points. It summarizes most of the topics currently<br>
listed under "things you can do with QGIS", "import and export data",<br>
"QGIS for developers" and "multi platform". I'll cross-check and<br>
remove duplicates. That should give us some more free space to put<br>
more pictures. Should we put a group picture from dev meeting? Is<br>
there one from Lisboa?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Yes I think I have one - Ill try to dig it up tonight.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

What do you think about a list of professional institutions using<br>
QGIS? It could be helpful to make to point that QGIS is used for<br>
serious work. But then how to pick them ...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think this would be areally great idea. Perhaps put out a call on the users list...? Off the top of my head here are some we could add (it would be nice to have good geographical spread):</div>

Maybe the sponsors list is good enough.<br>
