[HOT] newbie needs advice

[Springfield Harrison]

I couldn't find  a thing on the IRC, I thought it was something to do with
the Intl Red Cross, silly me.

Information sources are hugely fragmented.  I don't get a sense of
leadership, just random action.

I'm not sure if succesful GIS is a crowd activity.

I've asked but heard nothing about the end use of all this activity.  Is it
serving the folks on the ground?

Cheers . . . . .   Spring

Dear Blake,

It would be great if you could answer this on the list as I have many of
the same questions.
