I had a problem after an upgrade, emailed the list about it before I went to
bed, then checked my emails when I got up to find it discussed & fixed
overnight.
Absolutely fantastic.
Another recent case. I was discussing some GDAL/OGR development I'll be funding
with the developer, Frank Warmerdam (in the GDAL channel on IRC).
I took advantage of the opportunity to also ask it would be possible for proj
to return degree longitudes in either +-180 (default) ot 0-360 (for those of us
near the 180 meridian this is very useful).
In 10 minutes it was done & in CVS. Downloaded & tested fine... and still
going.
I have no qualms about Open Source support (provided you pick your packages :-)
Cheers,
Brent
