I plan on adding definitions to the dictionary in English based on my
work for the OSGeo Journal and the Mapping Math book.

I can think of two (2) ways other people could assist with the
dictionary. The first is in translation into languages other than
English. The second is by adding definitions from their own OSGeo
Journal articles or other documentation.

I won't let this thing get neglected. I don't have plans to commit major
chunks of time to it. I will add entries to it as I work on other
things.

Hi folks:

Sorry to be a pest -- but I need help. Attached (below) is the template
Tyler's created for the committees' 2007 status report. 

VICTOR, JORGE:  Are you OK if we list the FreeGIS book under this
report? If so, can you provide me with a paragraph or two on its status
for "Key Accomplishments", and any text related to the other headings?

VENKA, SCOTT (MICHELL), MORITZ, MARIA (Brovelli), Helena:  You all have
courses listed on the "Commitments" page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Commitments_for_New_Material_Development
 Should I just reference that for outlook 2008 or do you have
accomplishments I can report?

LANDON: You've just started in this capacity, but can you provide me
with a line or two on either accomplishments or plans for 2008 (or help
needed) for the multi-language dictionary? 

ANYONE ELSE - please let me know if you've accomplished something in
2007 that helps the group move forward, or if you are planning on
undertaking something in 2008. 

I need this in the next day or so so I can compile the report. Thanks
everyone!

Charlie
