Hoi,
Key in my mind is that this is a project of the Israeli chapter. These other
organisations are cooperating by growing OUR content. The fact that there
are other organisations involved is not that important to me. The fact that
they collaborate and realise our commons goal is.

Given that my point of view is substantially different from yours you "ass u
me d" that I did not have a look.
Thanks,
       GerardM
