[Qgis-developer] Get rid of Shapefiles ! Go SpatiaLite !

[Stefan Keller]

Hi Brent

Your point is very common and I understand this situation.
But the ArcGIS SW suite doesn't really make interoperability easy and tends
to maintain a vendor lock-in.
My proposal is to break this deadlock by programming an free ArcGIS desktop
extension which reads/writes Spatialite.
Any volunteers?
