FDO Toolbox (Speaking of Rapid Development)


According to the author, “FDO Toolbox is a windows application to process, create and manage geospatial data”. Similar in purpose to SL-King’s FDO2FDO application (which hasn’t quite made it out into open source yet), FDO Toolbox takes a different tack in design and in development process.

I first heard about FDO Toolbox when I got a Google Alert about Jackie Ng’s initial blog post back on July 9th. Since that time, Jackie has posted seven new point releases. That’s seven releases in eleven nineteen days, people!.

Obviously, this insane development pace can’t continue forever, but up until now Jackie has been working furiously with a good number of fixes and new features in each release. Many of the enhancements and modifications have come from external suggestions, so if you try it out and find that it’s missing something or think it could be doing something better, don’t hesitate to make a suggestion.
