Thanks Paolo, much appreciated.

I've drafted a letter, but I'd like some feed back before I send it off.[1]

Along the lines of:
Does it make sense?
Am I understanding correctly?
Does it cover the questions that need asking?
and,
I'm not misrepresenting any of the QGIS or OSGeo camps and in any way?

Particularly, if Paolo, Jürgen and Frank had anything to say on the note that would be appreciated.
