yes, that's what I also hope.

yes, I saw the new community map - very nice! 8-) And yes, would be nice to
include parts of it in the article. I will start with some ideas and then we can
discuss. Maybe we can use svn for that? Would it make sense to put it somewhere
in the QGIS svn where we all have rw access or somewhere else?

btw: It seems there is still a small problem with the right column in the new
web. For the community map it looks as if it is still active. I will try to fix
that. 

regards,
 Otto
