<div>Alex,</div>
<div>the Italian GI community I collaborate with (<a href="http://www.freegis-italia.org">www.freegis-italia.org</a>) can help you and your appreciated blog too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are active since january 2006 as a collaborative website on geographic information, writing news on standards, software, geodata and ongoing GI projects. We have just agreed to give a hand translating in english, and then send to you, our future posts of international relevance. Our contibution could be mainly on standards and software, so topics on which discussion can go beyond Italian national borders.

<br>to revive the site. I am planning to post a "call to collaborators" in<br>the coming days on the <a href="http://slashgeo.org">slashgeo.org</a> site. Because that's really what I<br>need: share the fun of aggregating geonews to feed the site on a daily
<br>basis :-)<br><br>If I succeed in gathering 4 or more contributors, the task should be<br>easy and not require too much time to any single individual. One<br>contributor could easily focus on only one topic, say open source
<br>webmapping products, geospatial standards or GPS stuff, thus not<br>spending too much time to feed Slashgeo.<br><br>I plan to spend some more efforts in the coming weeks and will try my<br>best, if I fail, then I'll let the site slide into oblivion. I still
<br>believe Slashgeo was useful to many within the community and that it can<br>have a great future :-)<br><br>If anyone on the list wants to join me in this great adventure, you're<br>welcomed! You can also learn more about the situation on
