Case studies, case studies, case studies, people say. I find that it
takes me about half a day per study. Now, I am notoriously lazy, so
you can take that number any way you like, but there it is. And the
reason I'm not cranking out case studies for osgeo? It doesn't really
scratch my itch. I've got a great lead for a new postgis study burning
a hole in my desk right now... I'll get to it, someday.
