Details:

Currently (July 2007) primarily a blog containing experiences of GIS use in non-profit organizations and developments in the GIS world. An interactive "help desk" facility is being worked on.
The first nonprofit online resource for sharing best practices in GIS, geospatial analysis and digital maps. This revolution in mapping tools will change the way we think about projects with social, environmental, and humanitarian purposes. There is no single clearinghouse for sharing best practices, learning of new open source GIS tools, and connecting with others in the nonprofit community with common needs. The Maps 2.0 initiative will meet that challenge.
