Friends don't let friends save geodata as #shapefile ✅
(http://switchfromshapefile.org)

On a related note:
A friend is looking at tracing features (mostly streets and public transportation) from old city maps (Berlin, 1920-30s) with #QGIS. Does anyone have recommendations for (semi-)automated tools?
We've already tried Bunting's AI-Tool and 'Raster Tracer' https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/raster_tracer, both with some success but not entirely satisfying...
Maybe something using #gdal?
