he mentions the high cost of GIS software as one reason there is so little 'social' action on the MAPPING front...
I think that is a very valid point... but it is 1 side of the real issue of 'accessibility': this stuff is fiscally, intellectually or usability...ty complex...
Google and Sketchup is a good start, but is sort of a gimmick... the 3d models make a map sexy but hardly add to the important aspects of accuracy and 'indigenous knowledge'
when we hit the ease-of-use of CHAT and BB/forums we'll see some really 'interesting' community supported Geodatabases
