    • Jason to set up Wiki page for fleshing out user-focus (Done: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/WebCom_OSGeo_Site_Focus )
    • Jason to get in touch with MPG about getting assistance with vetting process (On further thought, Jason doesn't think that this is necessary. Our initial "looks OK", public scrutiny, and post-contest vetting should take care of any concerns here.)

Web Site Items

    • Looks like auto-sense does not work for .it translation.
    • Maybe we need to consider alternatives? What are they?

    • Others?
    • Get Daniel's templates so we can start doing developer profiles.
    • Write/get approved blurbs from existing projects and other non-OSGeo osgis projects (PostGIS, uDig, etc, etc, etc). Link these to developer profiles and user profiles as created.
    • Ask discuss for "implementation stories" ?
