[Gvsig_english] Call for Mac Community contributors.

[Rafa Gaitan]

Hi Manuel,

Maybe you already know that, but I will continue collaborating with
Mac version. At least now I have a new apple laptop (the last one
crashed in the middle of a speech! :O).

Cheers,
Rafa.

> Those who are interested in actively participate in this working group,
