Hi Ruth.

I really appreciate all the effort you have done and I know you keep 
carrying on, I don't have any doubt about that.

But I don't agree with you in the need to create a separate project fork 
to be able to contribute. I'm sure the process might be improved, but it 
is already defined how to contribute in the project, be it with code, 
documentation, translations, etc. You have all the needed documentation 
in the gvsig.org website. Of course any comments about it are wellcome.

In any case, gvSIG being an open source project, anyone is free to 
create a fork. I don't have any problems with that and the gvSIG CE 
existence.

But this discussion is about the name, which is generating a lot of 
confusion between users.

Regards.
