Why this document exists
This is an attempt to write a role-centered description of how the different software components that projects are using, described in Project Infrastructure Migration fit together. Single sign-on to a lot of different services could be offered.
There are really two components of this, because OSGeo the Foundation needs one set of tools to communicate between and about itself; there is also an intention to provide hosted services that OSGeo projects and participants need but can't provide themselves, wanting the benefit of a stable home.

ASF Projects site
The Apache Software Foundation has a project directory at http://projects.apache.org/ built by collecting models from DOAP, 'Description of a Project' files that each project contributes.
