And I understand they're not just a face shop for ESRI. But knowing how
ESRI works I'm guessing they're very hand in hand. I only point it out
to soften possible expectations for success. By all means though, steer
the ESRI ship towards more open waters! <br>

His observation was that much of the extant content uses proprietary
software for exemplars and that some contribution from the OSGeo might
be worth investigating. Do others in the OSGeo community feel that
there may be some traction here for broader visibility ?<br>
