I am so sorry for my absence, but time does not for everything: S
Thanks for the comment monkey-mind and nana-puppet
I agree completely with AntónioGinjaGinja and thank you for the great work!
It's great that we have nearly 800 spotings and 44 participants!

monkey-mind and nana-puppet, thanks for your kind words,you say it all,better than i could say,when i thougth about portuguese mission,one of the things that i wished more was have not only portuguese people in the mission but trie to have foreigners to,to achive that i began to see spots taken in portugal by travellers(we are a touristic country)and ask them to assign our mission,like i did to you,to acheve objectives(in this case document portuguese biodiversity)it's need work,in the process i find many fantastic people,like David and many other's of all the world, whith fantastic spots and mostly whith will to do something useful in terms of preserving nature and spread some kind of hope speach(like PN does)to the people, hopping that something change for better
Hope is the last to die:-)

Antonio and David - I think this is the idea PN tries to establish - together we can protect the treasures nature gives us, protect them from the ignorance and greed. Plus, gain a new feeling of identity and community. :))
I´d only wish that there is a change in peoples thinking.
Anyway - good job!

é, não há problema deve ser da confusão destas missões todas criadas em tão pouco tempo

DavidSantos

ok;)
Tenho alguns spots em Góis e Bragança que não aparecem no mapa da missão porque foram postados antes de existir a missão, apesar de pertencerem (editei os spots para coloca-los) não aparecem no mapa..mas não há problema, penso eu;)

AntónioGinjaGinja 12 years ago

yes david i agreed the mission is going allrigth:-)to me is a big satisfation to see such an entusiasm of every body,lets continue the work:-)
i have some times problems on seeing all the spots,the page turn brown without spots,but i think that are problems because of the missions explosion,maybee to many data in a short period of time.
explica-me em português exatamente o problema do mapa:-)

DavidSantos

I get it because they do not appear on the map of the mission ..
Because they were created before the mission, although belong not appear on the map ..

DavidSantos

I think we can say that the mission is going well!
The mission map is not updated, some places have "Gois" and "Braganza" and do not appear on the map ..
I will try to convince some friends to come too;)

claro foi o que eu pensei:-)
ok,so until now we have 13 participants and 233 spots in ower missionhttp://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8000668,in 48h it's razonable,now it's keeping the work(i'am trieing to convence some friends that live in protect areas(gêres,montesinho,serra da estrela,etc) that we dont have spoters and whith time will have here a nice database of portuguese biodiversity,thanks for your precious work in ID ower spot's

ok! então percebi bem;)
penso que se deva meter todos os spot's, porque assim temos mais probabilidade de encontrar espécies portuguesas que conhecemos e assim podermos identifica-las;)

AntónioGinjaGinja
AntónioGinjaGinja 12 years ago

:-)David quanto tu disses-te que ias esforçar-te por identificar o máximo de spots da missão portuguesa,eu afirmei que só ia meter na missão spots edentificados,depois pensando duas vezes achei melhor meter todos os spota,mesmo os não identificados e ir tentando identificar o máximo que conseguirmos.o meu inglês é que não é famoso e ficou confusa a frase.Tá a correr bem a portugal's biodiversity:-)

AntónioGinjaGinja
AntónioGinjaGinja 12 years ago

well:-)thinking two times,i change my anterior declaration:"from my part i only submit spots whith id", to from my part i'll trie to put spots whith ID,but it's better to put all spots and after we all's trie to ID them:-)

AntónioGinjaGinja
AntónioGinjaGinja 12 years ago
