We are migrating the gvSIG case studies website (http://box5589.temp.domains/~gvsigorg//case-studies) to a new section of the gvSIG Project website (http://www.gvsig.com).
We have created the gvSIG devel mailing list for English-speaking developers (it was hosted in Joinup (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/), the collaborative platform created by the European Commission, previously but they deleted it.

Translations in some languages would have to be updated. We would need help on it.
