Data sources
Sources of public geodata for initial setup in a repository.

A full list of suggestions for public domain data sets that are nice-to-haves is maintained at Geodata Discovery Working Group
Metadata
- Geodata Metadata Requirements - a baseline for what would be asked for / expected of data sets in an OSGeo repository
- A simple metadata-in-GeoRSS webservice that is also as FGDC compliant as possible/desirable.
