such a list would be useful though (of course weighing offers
with regard to the user-friendlyness and objectivity).

IMHO, FreeGIS should concentrate on a small range of aims and
realize them as good as possible. Adding more features
would lower our effectivity for the central aims.

If anyone is willing to set up and maintain a site dedicated
to list all GI services (for free) on the web: I would be
happy to link that site.
