+ There are many powerful free and open source GIS packages. These can be recommended:
+ <listitem><ulink url="http://www.qgis.org/">Quantum GIS</ulink></listitem>
+ <listitem><ulink url="http://www.openjump.org/">OpenJUMP</ulink></listitem>
+ <listitem><ulink url="http://udig.refractions.net/">uDig</ulink>, which also forms basis for <ulink url="http://udig.refractions.net/gallery/cgiar/">DIVA-GIS</ulink></listitem>
+ <listitem><ulink url="http://www.gvsig.gva.es/eng/inicio-gvsig/">gvSIG</ulink></listitem>
+ These tools can for example be used to merge village boundary polygons into district polygons (provided the district that each village belongs to is listed as an attribute), and
+ one can edit files to reflect new divisions or correct errors.
+ Another power tool for working with GIS data is <ulink url="http://postgis.refractions.net/">PostGIS</ulink>, which can be used on itself or in conjunction
+ with the above applications.
