<br>
GeoForAll have evolved and expanded over time. As Nikos said we need to make sure the website and newsletter provide the same updated information.<br>
<br>
One important aspect I want to bring to your attention is to please consider when you are doing the website updates to please provide a simple webform mechanism to add new GeoForAll labs to the network. As we expand ,it is becoming really difficult for regional chairs to keep track, so a simple form which with all the info needed to be submitted by the universities joining will be helpful . At present we are using wiki and even if we request everyone and send reminders to add new labs directly , many do not know how to add to wiki. So having a webform that adds the details to the wiki will make it make it easier for everyone.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>

<div><div class="h5"><br>
I think that wherever the information comes from it must be the same.<br>
The website and the Newsletter must provide the same information. And<br>
both can be updated easily.<br>
If you think that a spreadsheet would solve the problem, even for the<br>
moment, then you can point out the Newsletter.<br>
