[postgis] Fwd: GISList: PostGIS

[Paul Ramsey]

Thanks Felipe,
I told Glenn some stuff about PostGIS from our perspective, but he was
also interested in any user's perspectives. I told him it might be a
little early for there to be many serious PostGIS installations (1 month
after first release after all) but if anyone has some in-the-field
experience I am sure he would be interested to hear it (as would we!).
