So, the first target for gvSIG project was users, users and users. Now, with the success of the last years, gvSIG is growing to reach the international panorama and becoming a more open and collaborative project (for example with the OSGeo incubation process). We know that English documentation and project life is a must and IMHO actually, at this time a Spanish javadoc is a bug, but we have to continue supporting Spanish spoken people of course. As you say, there is an "iceberg" of people that need that. Soon developers docs will be released (in Spanish first I'm afraid) and I hope International mailing list will have more a more activity. Please feel free (you and everyone) to post about whatever you think that could be interesting as a user, developer or simply as a very appreciated "observer" of the gvSIG project. Regards, Jorge Hi Schyler,
