Well it is nearly the end of the year, and I shall be hitting the road this weekend, so let me wish all our readers the best of wishes for the holiday season - Christmas, Hanukkah, and of course the New Year!

This has been a good first year for the GeoWebGuru website. We have a number of new articles lined up for January, including a couple of articles from Geospatial Training Services and a follow-up to our popular series on map projections with a  two-part article on Polar Projections.

As ever, we welcome your comments, thoughts for new articles, and even article submissions. Have you been involved in a neat online mapping project that you'd like to write about? If so, let us know!
