One day I called Alexis B. [an old friend of mine who is particularly good at GIS] and asked him if he had a shapefile of the wetlands of Rwanda. I needed it for my personal mapping activity. He told me he had it and would send it through email...
However, he was worried that he was sharing an outdated version. In fact, by that time, there were rumours that a newer version of the layer was available somewhere…but he did not have access to that. "Send what you have, man! It is for a personal project and not for a consulting job!"
