Pleased to be here, and sorry that a noon ET deadline made me late and prevented me from benefiting from Daniel's initial pearls of wisdom.

HumaniNet mentioned the GIS toolss to assist NGOs in far off places like Afghanistan - I am functioning for a couple months as the US-based emergency coordinator for an independent (U.S.-based) researcher in Afghanistan. This researcher relies on some in-country services provided by Catholic Relief Services which I just learned is a group that HumaniNet supports with their projects.
