[appgema] Applied Geomorphological Mapping: news update and website launch

[Marc Jansen]

Hello WG-members,

I just took a look at the new page located at http://www.appgema.org/ 
and I really like the layout and the wiki-style as well. 
Congratulations: Good job.

I made my first small contributions and suggest you to do this as well.

Again, thanks for the site, it'll be the main pool for information about 
our work soon.

-- Marc

We have, however, been busying establishing some of the key goals and outputs for the group, as well as implementing ways for the group to interact and collaborate. We are therefore pleased to announce the launch of the AppGeMa website which can be found at:

> 6. A list of web links

> 3. Glossary of Terms 
> 4. Digital Atlas (proposition) 
> 5. Information of a physical library for deposition of materials

Whilst we have populated most areas with at least some information, the true collaborative nature of the group can be collected together through the site. To add information simply click on the "Edit" link available on any page. You can immediately add information (there are some simple "help" notes at the bottom of any page you are editing). If you require further help, there is an extensive help system available through the menu on the left. Please note that in order to edit any pages you will be asked for a password. This is:
