Hi Cory and Paulo,
I'm Alex, the main Slashgeo enthusiast (aka Satri). I confirm I'd like
to revive the site. I am planning to post a "call to collaborators" in
the coming days on the slashgeo.org site. Because that's really what I
need: share the fun of aggregating geonews to feed the site on a daily
basis :-)
If I succeed in gathering 4 or more contributors, the task should be
easy and not require too much time to any single individual. One
contributor could easily focus on only one topic, say open source
webmapping products, geospatial standards or GPS stuff, thus not
spending too much time to feed Slashgeo.
I plan to spend some more efforts in the coming weeks and will try my
best, if I fail, then I'll let the site slide into oblivion. I still
believe Slashgeo was useful to many within the community and that it can
have a great future :-)
If anyone on the list wants to join me in this great adventure, you're
welcomed! You can also learn more about the situation on slashgeo.org's
last post.
Alex

Any attempts to rescue/salvage it?
Perhaps OSGeo could help bail it out financially, and some volunteers
might take up the administration side?
Cory, Satri, the site owner, has clearly stated that the issue is that
publishing the site is taking time from his famuly.
He would like to have some other editors to work with him.
