About time we change our front page poll. The new poll asks you about what 2011 in geospatial will be like.
The results and comments on the poll about the future of the Shapefile formatare pretty interesting. Out of 347 answers, 35% believe the shapefile will stay with us forever and 25% believe SpatiaLite will become the choice of many. Otherwise, it's pretty mixed results, 13% admit they don't know, 11% think that web services will eventually replace flat files, 8% think the GML standard will become widely used, the same amount of people believe ESRI's Geodatabase format will eventually replace the shapefile format. Please also take a look at the insightful comments shared by our users for that poll.
