> First of all, congratulation for the OSM idea. I think this kind of

> recently (vou won't believe me!!!) I've been formulating a
> wikiobservatorio project which look like the OSM idea.

> the land speculation and make information more transparent. I've
> been starting with geoserver tools but as I'm still working on it.
> Well, right now, I will use the OSM solution!!!

> I'm leading a GI asociation in Guatemala to promote the use of GIS
> in the country and the capacity building in this issue. Guatemala

> limited way for decision-making.

> How can we be the referent for a project of OSM in Guatemala?

> Thank you for your answer.
