[Qgis-user] Edit MapInfo TAB files

["FERRATON Alain (Chef du groupe informatique technique et scientifique, responsable du pôle national d'expertise progiciels géomatiques) - SG/SPSSI/CPII/DOO/ITS"]

the French Ministry of Ecology is also interested. A fundamental point 
is to offer the opportunity to work directly with MapInfo files in QGIS.
To do this would require an evolution of miTab driver.
http://mitab.maptools.org/.

in the meantime, work with postgis (or spatialite) as a pivot format is 
a good alternative, but can cause problems transcoding of data.
