[Qgis-psc] A question on the etymology of QGIS

[gavin.schrock@xyht.com]

Hi Paolo and team,
  
 I have a quick question regarding the 4 articles appearing in the 
September issue of xyHt Magazine.  There are four articles containing 
insights from you, Nick B, Anita, Tim S, etc.  I'm the editor of xyHt and a 
question has come up about the Q in QGIS.  The running of these articles 
came directly f=as result of inquiries from our readers asking to learn 
more about QGIS. One of the questions, while perhaps trivial was  "what is 
the meaning of the Q in QGIS".
  
 I fully understand that in the present  that no one would ever refer to 
QGIS with the 'quantum' prefix, but it was part of the history and all we 
wanted to do was resolve the mystery of the 'Q" by stating: at one time 
referred to as Quantum GIS, but now simply as QGIS
  
 One of the article contributors would like us to remove any mention of 
'quantum', but is that the desire of the entire team?  We are a news 
publication, and the history is part of the news. Does the board have any 
problem with us mentioning this item from the history of QGIS as stated 
above?
  
 Kindest regards,
  
   Gavin Schrock, PLS
