[Qgis-user] SEXTANTE for QGIS has been released

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

Hi
Would it be possible to give a 10 000 mile overview of what Sextante does?
There is quite a mixture of skill levels in this group and I for one am
certainly not well versed into all the tools of the trade. I appreciate the
announcement as it provides exposure to possible future tools that could
be useful to me, but I believe that for the benefit of your tool/product it
is in your interest to bring us less well versed people up to speed. This
mailing list in some respects is like a tv channel with a thread like this
being an advertisement. If I have to go and read about a product to
understand what it does after having seen a tv advert then it has failed. I
should not be doing reading to understand what the product does but should
be reading to get a better understanding of how the product can be
applicable to my specific problem.

I did try to read the manual and view a few of the youtube videos in the
sextante channel but am still non the wiser.

Regards
