Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects we presence?

OSSIM is currently hosted on a wiki at www.ossim.org. While potentially evaluating

with a brief description and a link to the host site.

Currently using CVS at www.ossim.org, cautiously evaluating a move to svn,

don't see a compelling reason to move that to collabnet.

Are binary and source downloads available from the OSGeo download area?

If not, why?

Currently hosted on sourceforge with additional large data sets available

on telascience org. Links are available from the main page.

Collabnet currently doesn't have equivalent resource available.
