Thanks for your interest.
I do not think it is OT. I reiterate what I wrote on qgis-dev (sorry for
crossposting):
===
I was referring to the statement:
"The use of Quantum GIS is not intended to replace DSE's investment in
ArcGIS for more sophisticated analysis, mapping and data management
activities"
I am sure the *investment* in QGIS is far more effective, functions for
money, that any other. When organizations stop (or reduce) their
investment in proprietary GIS solutions, and channel the same resources
into QGIS, the advantages are evident.
What is wrong is to compare investment in one solution with no
investment in the other.
===
More generally, I think the many institutions around the world that are
more or less formally evaluating QGIS would do much better doing it in
the open, collaborative fashion that we use for all QGIS activities. A
closer contact with the QGIS developer and user community would bring
advantages to all.
All the best.
