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

[Paul Selormey]

Hello Gilberto,
Thanks for the information. I downloaded the files and run the TerraView.
I wish it has English interface too ;-)

I wish to make a little suggestion. Please try to keep the library itself,
TerraLib, in Standard C++ and only the user interface stuff in Qt.
The Qt license on Windows is not that interesting as compared to the Linux
version, so we might wish to port to MFC/WTL/ATL where necessary for
the Windows version.

Again, thanks for the great work.

Best regards,
Paul.

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.
