Excellent presentation. Really helpful how you compared similar facets, and the impact of those facets on usability and the shareability. Thanks for making this public, Creative Commons are awesome and it means you don't have to enroll in several hundred courses to learn.

Spatialite is an open source geodatabase that works in QGIS, as well as ArcGIS 10.2. Personally, I prefer working with geodatabases rather than shapefiles, but many people (still) haven't made the transition yet.
