Richardo,
I apologise if it was seen that LISAsoft were claiming credit for GISVM. 
What I was aiming to achieve was a recognition of the GISVM name on your 
behalf.

However, I'm happy to remove the reference above. (It likely won't take 
effect until after Xmas as I need to get my password reactivated by 
someone who is on leave).

By the same logic, I'm guessing you would prefer us to move the wiki 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build to 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Arramagong_Build and update the build docs to 
reference Arramagong instead of GISVM?
