Oh.
Who put this up?
I am impressed by ( and thankful of ) the amount of efforts we are not aware of!
Now. The issue is quickly starting to become: data integration.

( I am sure someone has been saying this for eons. He's big, darK...
can't remember his name though ;).

digitales-por-chile@googlegroups.com

Thanks!
