[postgis-users] (Frenchusers only)-Why ?

[Jaime Carrera]

Dear all,

I agree with the fact that this is getting a bit
off-topic but I wanted to add something more to my
previous e-mail after reading all that has been
written on this topic.
Due to the messages generated by the original mail, I
took a look at the french documentation and I must say
that I think it is a very good job. In particular I
liked the tutorial on PostGIS and PHP as I was looking
for something similar a while ago. I don't consider
myself a French user although I do understand french
and was discouraged by the "french users only"
subject. 
It's not about restricting language use as everyone
feels better when it comes at explaining a problem in
your mother tongue.

Keep up the good work,

All the best

Jaime
