Thank you. As I see now, this was related to a PHP related insufficient 
memory allocation problem on the server, that is now fixed.

I will come up with a SMW based schema for the OSGeo Advocates according 
to the structured data given in the current table, this coming week, so

advocate including the according data on his/her User: page.

Christian
