Web Site
These need to be created and heavily interlinked. Who wants to do?


 * Project summary pages - Jason can work on initial cut for per-project approval (Q: What is the difference between "project.osgeo.org" - the domain - and "www.osgeo.org/project_info" - the info page?)
 * User/Developer spotlights (need to be moved from the "news" project)

Need to develop work flow for news. Is this process acceptable?


 * All general news added to the "News" project.
 * Delegates from all projects and committees given Announcement Admin and SVN access to the NEWS site
 * WebCom to "promote" major news to the main page on request by creating WWW project announcement that links to NEWS announcement.
