Like Maximillian Forte I have wondered about the general quietness around here. My guess is that it is a mix of summer busyness (kids, articles, trips, fieldwork) combined with many people poking around and experimenting in OAC. Wouldn’t Oneman’s very useful post be the kind of thing that the discussion groups in OAC would want to be discussing? Maybe that can be orchestrated.

It should go without saying that geographic documentation can also help prevent the exploitation of vulnerable peoples. Whether the people of Oaxaca—and what does that mean in this context? are we talking about federal/state/local/“traditional” governments? title holders? individuals in general?—were already aware of this fact or had yet to have had it adequately impressed upon them when consenting to the project also seems germane.
