OK Larry. I have had some time to think about the good questions that you raised. My comments are below. Larry wrote: "I would recommend that you look at a combination of proprietary and open source tools. And don't assume OpenJump would meet your company's needs best just because it is a project

Yes, we're sorry to see Jody go. He's off to work for LisaSoft in Australia. I'm not sure if his duties there will include work on GeoTools/uDig, but I'm pretty sure he'll be trying to stay involved in those projects. I don't think this will be a fatal blow to either GeoTools or uDig, howeve

While I all in favour of see funding available to improve OpenJUMP, I think I agree with Larry - that's an ambitious list of features, which might take more than the proposed budget to implement effectively. (They're all solid real-world use cases, though, which would be good to add to the OJ

It sounds like Landon was already on the same page as what I suggested. What I took away from this discussion is that in order for OpenJump to be commercially viable, there would need to be a paid support option. While this may sound like an opportunity for some enterprising people to start a GIS

Agreed on both points, Larry. I'm not sure how best to track usage. And even if it was tracked, it would still require a marketing department to follow up and try and beat some business out of the users, wouldn't it? As for a paid support option, I can say that Refractions Research is fully
