WorldSoilProles.org has to be (a) populated with soil data,
(b) available in the Portuguese language and (c) better
documented;
R packages have to be (a) tested (look for possible bugs and
evaluate the implemented methods) and (b) better
documented;
We need some propaganda in Brazil.

I have soil data for about 500 soil proles in my study area in
Brazil - they will be in WorldSoilProles.org within two
months:
a template for entering soil data according to the Brazilian soil
description manual will be prepared within two months;
The translation to the Portuguese language will be
continuously improved:
some typos and new translations will be made next week while
I'm still in Wageningen;
Is there a WorldSoilProles.org User's Manual? Tutorials?
I'd like to help developing something when I come back to
Wageningen in October (I'll stay in Wageningen during one
year).

My PhD project focuses on the use of the GSIF R package and
other R functionality presented by Bas, Gerard and Tom;
I'd like to help develop a more friendly documentation for
those who have never worked with R. Remember that I'll be
back to Wageningen in October.

The best propaganda is to add my soil database to
WorldSoilProles.org and use GSIF products + e-SOTER +
HWSD;
Encourage the use of GSIF + e-SOTER + HWSD among my
colleagues and other professionals of the soil sciences (tutorials
and short courses);
Hannes and I will prepare a short paper to be published in the
Newsletter of the Brazilian Soil Science Community;
I try to nd more Brazilian students willing to contribute to a
global eort.
