[GRASS-user] GRASS after ArcInfo

[Tyler Mitchell]

Hi Jarek,
At our company, http://timberline.ca, we have some areas where we are  
actively making a migration, though mainly for testing some new  
processes.  My main interest in doing this is to enable more server- 
side processing on an open source operating system - something that  
ESRI does not offer in their commercial stack.

One interesting way of helping users bridge between the products  
would be to have some scripts that emulate particular ArcInfo  
functionality but use GRASS behind the scenes.  I am interested in  
doing this, and started on something similar (in concept) using a web  
front end for ArcInfo workstation.

I am very interested in following your develops and new course  
offerings/direction.  If there is any way I can help, let me know.

Tyler
