I cam across this article (http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/07/14/1513220.shtml?tid=11) which describes the attempted use of a new groupware oriented software package. While it was somewhat negative on the software itself, it did have this nice quote in it: "For a supposedly mature piece of software, it would seem that even a cumbersome step-by-step installation guide using PostgreSQL, the one database which everyone has, would have been an obvious document to release with the code." maybe that can be our new slogan, "the one database which everyone has" :-) so this was pretty cool, but then i found this article (http://www.directionsmag.com/article.php?article_id=369) which is a technical article about using open source software in the geographic and location industries. I quote: "An older open source database, called PostgreSQL [11], has had geographic capabilities for some time, but we were unfamiliar with PostgreSQL and were looking more for performance and convenience than serious functionality (a PostgreSQL user might tell you this is unwarranted stereotyping). " <sigh> It's kind of sad to see a quote like this from a source that you know some people are looking toward for valid technical information. I'd love to see the PostGIS guys write up an article about how one might go about using geographic data for serious applications.
