<DIV>Hi everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Looking a the flyers produced from GeoNetwork Open Source, they are impressive and very well written. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can find some copies of the flyer on home page for the project.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd be interested in the Design Cost and the Printing Cost. We'd also should be able to keep the marketing files on one central site/server and be able to check them out/check them in (much like Trac) for Version Control (so we don't have people always coming in and modifying them).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maintaining brochures and documentation can be as complicated as maintaining code.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
