Every May in a tiny village called Testa dell'Acqua just 15 minutes from Noto they hold a small but very nice open market day where local farmers and artisans gather to sell their produce. Here are some photos from that event.

Everyone registered up to a couple of minutes ago is now officially a full blown member. As most everyone is coming over from the forums I thought that was a reasonable thing to do as there is no need to prove your willingness to participate.

yes - i guess there are people who don't mind putting their full address (perhaps its a villa for rent, B&B or they just don't mind) - while others want to say where they are (in a 100km radius or less)
I get slightly nauseous whenever I have to deal with these things - but this might just be useful. How do they now when you got paid? Is there an upper limit of time (i.e. after six months you have to pay it no matter what...)
Hi Jackie - quite right. The information was there to help "geocode" the address and place the marker on the map automatically - so removed it from public view just so as to avoid any issues.As you said anyone worried about sharing the exact address can simply place the marker approximately close to their location. The location does not even need to be where you live - it could be your spot in Italy.
Hi Garda - we are creating the views as we speak, a bit like having the guests over but you are still in the kitchen doing the antipasti There are going to be several different ways to slice and dice the content so in a way its forums enhanced.senti - let me get back to getting things online and you will see what I mean
As I mentioned earlier - there is lots to do. working hard on it all and there are kinks to work out.cassini: you can just click on the map to place a marker where you are if you don't want to share your full location. it work on province level not regional level - so you would need to enter the province otherwise.will be explaining how the new format will work shortly - happy to see so many of you joining here.ronald
Hi annec nice to see you here - please forgive the rather temporary accommodations. things will improve over the next few days. Will start creating more groups and getting things set-up.Could you please let me know if you received your account activation e-mail (rather than the "pending approval" one) - seems some people are not receiving themA presto!
