[Qgis-user] Geological Symbols

[Randal Hale]

That was my first thought this morning - there are plugins. The devs 
work furiously to bring us quality software. I try my best to test and 
submit bugs and help....

Maybe a thought would be symbology - ESRI is a symbol rich environment. 
I made mention on my blog at one point about QGIS and Symbology and that 
has been the top ranked hit on the blog for 2 years running.

How hard would it be to build a symbol repository: Geology. 
Transportation. National Parks. Standard symbols that people need in a 
less restrictive licensing environment? QGIs has a lot of symbols - 
maybe that could be expanded in a more constructive environment?
