As far as I'm concerned, most of GIS related issues fit here. GIS Programming, GIS database development, GIS WebServices, GIS discussion, Cartography, Geography, etc. – George Jun 1 '10 at 21:34

we need 30 "on-topic" or "off-topic" point per question. – Agemen Jun 7 '10 at 20:11

Should this question specify a language? For example: "Can anyone provide an example of the shortest path Dijkstra algorithm in C#?" – Ti M Jun 4 '10 at 10:52

	I think this is more of a geology question. – Scott Wisniewski Jun 4 '10 at 22:50
	Not really. It's a remote sensing question. – George Jun 6 '10 at 2:52

	Presumably this would be geographic-related software of some sort. – Andy Jun 2 '10 at 13:53
	Yeap. Sorry for that. I'll edit it – George Jun 2 '10 at 16:22

Why so many "not on topic"? SmallWorld and Magik are GIS tools. – George Jun 3 '10 at 14:25

Seems like a remote sensing question to me... better to keep this focused on GIS no? – Dave Bouwman Jun 3 '10 at 19:56

Rather in StackOverflow, as it is programming related. I would add a link in the GIS-SE to some specific tags in SO. – malach Jun 2 '10 at 13:44

I agree - this is very much a computer science question. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've seen this on StackOverflow. Certainly relevant to GIS, but not there are many people on SO who aren't doing GIS work who would have valuable input on this question. – Matt Parker Jun 2 '10 at 23:32

It's computer science but relies on spatial knowledge. I don't see how you can exclusively categorize it one way or another. – dmbrubac Jun 4 '10 at 17:15

I think a better question would be: In PostGIS/ArcGIS/OGR/whatever specific GIS toolset, how do I select all points in a polygon – fmark Jun 5 '10 at 2:14

Not exclusively, no. But someone who knew a lot about algorithms and nothing about GIS could answer this, whereas people who spend a lot of time with GIS might not have a clue about how to do this. – Matt Parker Jun 5 '10 at 2:16
