[Qgis-user] R: Re: Publish a book about the optimal use of QGIS

[labiancamarilena at libero.it]

My question would not be in any way critical but open to discussion.
Probably everyone will have its objectives and certainly will need different 
information but there are basic information that are common to all (may be 
trivial, but beginning I did not know where to download the shapefiles, there 
are several sites but I personally do not know of many , in particular for 
Italy....).
The community is crucial and often I turned with great success and I thank all 
those who patiently respond by providing their valuable time.
Thank Anita, I'll read your book!
