[Freegis-list] TerraLib and TerraView - Open Source GIS software for Linux

[Gilberto Camara]

Dear Paul and FreeGIS community:

Thanks for the compliment. TerraLib is indeed
an ambitious project, and we hope to be able
to fullfil most of our goals.

Just for the record: TerraLib is an institutional
project. This means INPE (The Brazilian National
Institute for Space Research) has a team of 12
full-time staff members (plus 6 graduate students) 
working on the project, during office hours. 

We have secured long-term financial
support from the Brazilian government, through
its research agencies. This means that we envisage
TerraLib to be at least a ten-year project,
with a stable team and continous improvement.

There is still much to be done, as always.
Comments and contributions are most welcome.

Best regards
Gilberto.
