During the next week, I shall be making some changes to the Geoweb Guru website.

Despite various attempts to build the discussion forums, they have never attracted the traffic which was hoped for. These will be disabled. This will significantly reduce the importance of public user registrations and these will be disabled. This also has the advantage that it will remove the large amount of signup-spam which I've been receiving, but it will also mean the newsletters will stop.  Hence tonight's newsletter will be the last of the monthly newsletters.

Users will continue to be able to add their own comments to articles and news stories.  RSS feeds and Twitter posts ( @geowebguru ) will continue, and I shall be making these more obvious in the left margin.

We have a number of feature articles lined up for the coming weeks, but would welcome further feature articles from our readers. All "geoweb" online mapping subjects are acceptable, and we welcome articles covering all levels from beginner through to advanced. Articles could be technology overviews, book reviews, how-tos, or cover a neat project which you have recently implemented. Let me know using the contact form if you are interested in writing an article for the website.
