Hi<div>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.</div>
