Acknowledgements
The NABO Project Management System was originally created in 2008 by David Bruce at the School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh and is based on the Geographical Information Projects Registry (GIPR) with funding from the National Science Foundation. As part of his MSc in GIS (2007-2008) he reviewed and enhanced the already existing GIPR system to create a self-sustaining user-driven service. The purpose of the GIPR is to provide a service via which members of the Scottish GI community and beyond can share knowledge about their projects and initiatives and create new partnerships. Many thanks to David for all his work in getting the NABO PMS started.
The most recent update of the NABO PMS in 2022-24, again funded by the National Science Foundation, was carried out by Louis Kinnear with the help of Chris Hill and Annabel Treshansky, as part of the wider redevelopment of the NABO website.
The NABO PMS is hosted by the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh.
