[OSGeo-Discuss] open source desktop shootout

[Miller, Craig]

I suggested looking for the checklist that was used in the old USFS/BLM
Project 615.  That project is relatively old now, but evaluated the various
GIS systems available according to a checklist of functionality and tests.
It would make a great starting point if you can find it.
