Dear Pauline (and possibly others),
We are certainly working with maps, and have posted quite a few messages to
this list already.
Have you tried searching the list archives? Go to:
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/NOF-DIGI.html
... and click on the "Search the archives" link (which is the top
one). Try "maps" as a search term, and a list of about 20 messages shows
up, with their subjects. A worrying percentage of them were written by myself.
If you have any further questions, get in touch.
NB there is a separate nof-gis list hosted by UKOLN ("[log in to unmask]")
but it has been pretty quiet.
Best wishes,
Humphrey Southall
